Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, a three-year-old girl, has been crossing her legs straight for nearly a year, conscious, can be interrupted, but not more than several times a day, and it only appears after a few days. Is it epilepsy? She has had two EEG tests, the first of which showed abnormal discharges. How to confirm if it is epilepsy? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Considering epilepsy, it is often caused by abnormal discharges of cells in the cerebral cortex, leading to dysfunction of the central nervous system, resulting in involuntary movements of the body and temporary loss of consciousness.Recommendation: It is recommended to perform a 24-hour electroencephalogram (EEG) for your child to detect any pathological factors early and receive timely treatment to avoid brain damage.
