Patient's question:
I have a younger brother who should be at school age, but because he suffered from epilepsy when he was young, he has been unable to go to school. He has seizures several times a day, each time falling to the ground and twitching. After the twitching stops, he seems fine, and the family can't tell whether it's secondary epilepsy or primary epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
1. The condition of the patient's brain: Primary epilepsy does not have organic inflammation, and a small portion of primary epilepsy is related to generational genetic factors; secondary epilepsy has a clear cause, and there is organic inflammation in the brain.2. The population that develops epilepsy: Primary epilepsy is more commonly diagnosed in adolescence in clinical settings, with no identifiable cause and no positive neurological signs; secondary epilepsy can occur at any age, with identifiable causes of epilepsy attacks or negative neurological signs. The daily treatment for primary epilepsy patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding alcohol.
