Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can cause epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can cause epilepsy? The child has been in this condition for a long time, and I am very worried, afraid it will worsen. Please give me some advice, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. This may be related to neurogenic factors such as congenital developmental abnormalities or 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 with rehabilitation exercises. A 10-day course is ideal, with the best outcome being three courses. There are no other effective methods. Through these effective treatments, it will be very helpful. Neurotrophic pharmacology can reduce the occurrence of sequelae, and rehabilitation exercise therapy is necessary to achieve self-reliance.
