Question
My son is 11 years old. Recently, when I scolded him while he was studying, he is introverted and slow. After that, he experienced electric shock-like sensations throughout his body and head. The 24-hour ECG showed changes in the ST segment, but myocardial enzymes and troponin were normal, as well as blood lead levels. The 24-hour EEG showed a single slow wave, which the doctor said was normal and no seizure waves were found. He had 4 episodes within 16 days. What could be the cause?
Answer
Disease Analysis: In addition to general symptoms, are there any other clinical manifestations of the electric shock-like sensation throughout the body and head? Guidance: There are many possible causes for abnormal sensations. Seizure attacks are typically characterized by sudden loss of consciousness. Whether it is a seizure or not requires further EEG testing. We know that hydrocephalus in children can cause significant harm. If it is not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, the progression of the disease can be rapid. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek medical attention early.
