Patient's question:
A one-year-old baby is having seizures, foaming at the mouth, and their eyes are rolling back. A brain CT scan shows everything is normal. What could be the illness?Doctor's answer:
1-year-old babies' brains are not fully developed, so when exposed to certain stimuli, it can cause nervous system spasms. The common causes of convulsions include high fever seizures, febrile seizures, epilepsy, and possible post-traumatic sequelae of brain injury. Additionally, there may be brain conditions such as tumors or brain damage.
