Children sometimes experience blind spots. In the past three years, a seizure has occurred every year.

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Child
Sometimes experiences blind spots. Over the past three years, he/she has had a seizure once a year. Is it epilepsy? Is it okay without medication?

Doctor's answer:

Due to the onset of epilepsy, patients usually experience generalized convulsions, drooping of the mouth and eyes, and distorted facial expressions. As a result, some people, lacking understanding, mistakenly believe that convulsions are a seizure of epilepsy. Spasms and epilepsy are quite different. Spasms are just occasional single episodes, while epilepsy involves repeated attacks.
