Patient's question:
Symptom control, 3 months later, symptoms recurred, and Topiramate was taken again. Thereafter, recurrence still occurred every half month.Doctor's answer:
(1) Congenital malformations: such as chromosomal abnormalities, congenital hydrocephalus, microcephaly, corpus callosum agenesis, and cerebral cortex dysgenesis, etc.(2) Prenatal and perinatal diseases: Birth injuries are a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy. Contusions, edema, hemorrhage, and infarction can also lead to focal cerebral sclerosis, which may develop into lesions years later. Children with cerebral palsy often have concurrent epilepsy.
(3) Sequelae of high fever seizures: Severe and prolonged high fever seizures can cause brain damage, including neuronal loss and gliosis, primarily in the medial temporal lobe, especially in the hippocampus.
