Patient's question:
A fever leads to tics, incontinence of urine and feces, facial cyanosis, vacant stare. Symptoms last for two to three minutes. Examination and test results: The doctor did not provide proof of previous treatment and its effectiveness: Taking Chinese medicine has not been very effective. What kind of help is desired: Hello, how are these symptoms related to epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is highly likely to be a case of high fever seizures. I don't know the body temperature at the time, but if it was below 38.5°C, it could be considered a high fever seizure. A single recurrence does not confirm epilepsy. High fever seizures are a common pediatric condition. The occurrence of seizures in children is due to the immaturity of their brain development, which leads to poor differentiation and weak influence. Even mild influence can cause abnormal discharges in brain neurons, resulting in seizures. Simple high fever seizures have a good long-term prognosis and do not affect intelligence, learning, or behavior. As the child grows older and the brain gradually matures, high fever seizures generally do not recur.
