Patient's question:
What are the causes of epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
A portion of infantile epilepsy is determined by genetic factors. Secondary epilepsy factors include: congenital brain developmental malformations, such as congenital hydrocephalus and arachnoid cysts. Perinatal brain injury, primarily including birth injuries, intracranial hemorrhage, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Intracranial infections, such as viral encephalitis. Cerebrovascular diseases, such as vascular malformations. Brain injury after high fever seizures also leads to epilepsy.
