Patient's question:
The child is five and a half years old. They have previously experienced seizures due to high fever, occurring four or five times. During this examination, an electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed: suspicious spikes and sharp waves in the whole brain during sleep, accompanied by high... After the activity phase, a brain MRI scan was performed, which showed: a possible arachnoid cyst in the right temporal lobe.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your child can currently only be considered as having febrile seizures. If the child has multiple convulsions within a day of fever, or each convulsion lasts more than 15 minutes, or the convulsion is a focal seizure of one limb, then it should be considered as complex febrile seizures. If there are convulsions without fever, then epilepsy should be diagnosed. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is very rapid, and it can bring great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
