Patient's question:
Last night while sleeping, my son suddenly had convulsions with all four limbs trembling upwards. It lasted for several minutes before stopping, and then he started crying. The family was very worried and in pain, so they took him to the local hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was childhood deep sleep epilepsy. Will childhood deep sleep epilepsy recur during the day?Doctor's answer:
Sleeping epilepsy is a common classification of seizures in epilepsy types. Its seizures occur during deep sleep. Its main clinical diagnostic feature is that it will never recur at night or during the day. The deep sleep posture of epilepsy patients should be given as much attention as possible. The deep sleep posture should be formed in a supine position. It is best to prevent a supine sleeping posture. Patients who frequently recur at night should be paid special attention.
