Patient's question:
What are the hazards of epilepsy in children? Will it affect his intellectual development?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of pediatric epilepsy can severely affect the intellectual and mental development of children. This disease is commonly known as "epilepsy" and is a complex and recurrent neurological syndrome that occurs during childhood. Typically, clinical manifestations include recurrent muscle convulsions and disturbances in consciousness. Pediatric epilepsy can be classified into two forms: generalized seizures and partial seizures. An electroencephalogram (EEG) has a diagnostic accuracy of 50% to 60% for this condition.
