Patient's question:
My son is 11 years old. Recently, when I was studying with him, I scolded him. He is very introverted and has a slow temper. After that, he experienced a sensation like being electrocuted all over his body and head. His 24-hour electrocardiogram showed changes in the ST segment, but his myocardial enzymes and troponin were normal, and his blood lead level was normal. His 24-hour EEG showed a slow wave, which the doctor said was normal and did not show any signs of epilepsy. He had four episodes in 16 days. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: A feeling of being electrocuted all over the body and on the head. Besides this symptom, are there any other clinical manifestations?Advice: There are many reasons that can cause sensory abnormalities. The typical attack of epilepsy is primarily characterized by sudden loss of consciousness. Whether it is epilepsy or not should be determined by an electroencephalogram (EEG). We know that hydrocephalus in children can cause significant harm. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
