Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can cause epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Does hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy cause epilepsy? As a parent, I'm very worried, afraid that my child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. This may be related to neurogenic factors such as congenital developmental abnormalities and cerebral ischemia. It also has a certain connection to malnutrition, as well as pregnancy-related colds and genetic mutations. It is recommended to actively treat the condition, use neurotrophic drugs, and combine hyperbaric oxygen therapy, along with functional rehabilitation exercises. A 10-day course is ideal, with three courses being the best. There are no other effective methods. Through these effective treatments, it can be very helpful. Neurotrophic pharmacology can reduce the occurrence of sequelae, and rehabilitation exercise therapy is necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
