Patient's question:
The child is five and a half years old. They have previously experienced seizures due to high fever, occurring four or five times. During this examination, an electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed: suspicious spikes and sharp waves in the whole brain during sleep, accompanied by high... After the paroxysmal activity, a plain MRI scan was performed, which showed: a possible arachnoid cyst in the right temporal lobe.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your child can currently only be considered as having febrile seizures. If there are multiple convulsions within one day of fever, or each convulsion lasts more than 15 minutes, or the convulsion is a focal seizure of one limb, then it should be considered as complex febrile seizures. If there are convulsions without fever, then it should be diagnosed as epilepsy.
