Question
My son is 6 years old and weighs 30 kilograms. He experienced a high fever, fainting, and seizures in September 2005, and had another seizure in October last year. On May 10th of this year, he had another episode, similar to last year (with the onset of chickenpox the next day). On June 9th, he suffered a seizure again due to meningitis triggered by mumps. This seizure lasted much longer. The first and last May episodes were similar, while the second and third seizures were completely different from the first (and also different from each other). I realized that his condition was worsening, and he was treated for meningitis at Hebei Provincial Children’s Hospital on June 15th. On June 21st, he underwent a 24-hour dynamic EEG at Hebei Provincial Children’s Hospital, with the following results: The dynamic EEG Holter report from Hebei Provincial Children’s Hospital showed that no clinical seizures were observed during the testing process. Background activity: When awake and calm, the bilateral occipital area mainly shows 6-8Hz theta and alpha rhythms with 50-60uV amplitude. The rhythms on both sides are approximately symmetrical. Regulation and amplitude are moderate. Eye closure response: Alpha waves are suppressed upon opening eyes. Overbreathing is not achieved. Sleep waves: Sleep waves and sleep cycles are generally normal (sleep time: from 8:17 PM to 4:30 AM). Abnormal waves: In the wake-to-sleep and sleep-to-wake stages, there are intermittent high-amplitude slow waves of 305-4Hz mainly in the left frontal, central, and temporal areas. Occasionally, sharp waves can be seen in the left frontal area. Impression: Abnormal pediatric brain activity.
