What causes pediatric epilepsy?

Patient's question:

At the beginning of the year, I noticed that my child was a bit slow in response, and sometimes he would just freeze. We never paid much attention to it, but last month, my child suddenly fell to the ground and had convulsions. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that my child has epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many causes of epilepsy, including focal brain lesions or diffuse lesions, as well as systemic metabolic poisoning. There are also some causes that remain unknown to this day. In clinical practice, common causes of epilepsy are particularly important, such as brain trauma, brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial infections, etc.
