Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite. There are basically no abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What are the causes of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons in the human body. The primary reason for the onset of this disease is the abnormal firing of neurons. Of course, some patients may also be related to genetic inheritance across generations and other traumatic factors. If you are not sure, it is best to undergo genetic screening first to check if you possess any relevant genes. Conditions such as intrauterine distress or intrauterine aspiration can lead to hypoxia, brain edema, and encephalopathy in newborns, which in turn can result in epilepsy.
