Patient's question:
What are the clinical manifestations of benign partial epilepsy in infants?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy originates in the brain and is a transient attack disorder caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. Its characteristic symptoms include unpredictable sudden recurrent attacks, foaming at the mouth, twitching of limbs, and sudden falls to the ground. It can resolve on its own, accompanied by brief loss of consciousness. Currently, drug treatment is the primary approach. Antiepileptic drugs are generally selected based on the type of epilepsy attack, and lifelong medication may be required. When attacks are difficult to control, surgical treatment can be adopted.
