Patient's question:
The mother of the child has mild epilepsy, but it rarely recurs even once a year. Surprisingly, this slight illness was also inherited from the previous generation to her son. When he was just born, there were no abnormalities, but he suddenly had a seizure when he was in the first grade of elementary school. At that moment, his mood dropped to an ice point, and he felt a sense of fear.Doctor's answer:
Overall, from an etiological perspective, childhood epilepsy can be divided into two major categories. The first category is epilepsy without a clear cause, which accounts for 20% of all epilepsy patients. Most of these cases are related to intergenerational inheritance, and therefore are also referred to as cryptogenic childhood epilepsy or genetic childhood epilepsy. The second category is epilepsy with a clear identifiable cause, the most common of which include congenital brain developmental malformations, neurocutaneous syndromes, genetic metabolic diseases, perinatal brain injuries, and more. In addition to treating epilepsy, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood at all times, in order to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
