How high is the mortality rate of epilepsy in cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

I feel that there are some problems with my body. How high is the mortality rate of cerebral palsy and epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy epilepsy, if it involves limb dysfunction, high muscle tone, and frequent seizures, then the prognosis is not very good. Frequent recurrent seizures can cause brain damage, and over time, it can lead to brain function decline. At the same time, long-term bed rest can easily lead to aspiration, resulting in lung infections, such as decubitus pneumonia. Repeated lung infections can significantly reduce lung function, leading to a life-threatening condition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
