Patient's question:
What are the sequelae of epilepsy? The right hand always feels weak, and sometimes it also trembles inexplicably. Are these many symptoms brought by epilepsy? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
1. Delayed growth and development. Primarily, children with epilepsy experience delayed growth and development compared to their peers, and in some cases, the growth and development may stagnate again. This sequelae is mainly seen in children with epilepsy who also have abnormal brain development.2. Intellectual disability. The incidence of intellectual disability in epilepsy patients is significantly higher than in normal children. The relationship between intellectual impairment and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is closely linked, such as absence seizures, which can recur dozens to hundreds of times daily. Patients facing epilepsy struggles should actively adopt treatment measures and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If epilepsy is not effectively treated, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
