Question
My child is four years old and has had several sudden falls backwards with loss of consciousness this year, fixating their eyes, and their legs straightening. After the fall, the child can get up on their own and continue playing. What kind of disease could this be caused by?
Answer
This condition could be due to a disease caused by insufficient cerebral blood supply. Insufficient cerebral blood supply refers to chronic and widespread insufficient blood supply to the brain due to various reasons, leading to brain ischemia and hypoxia as well as a series of clinical manifestations of brain dysfunction. It is recommended to use vasodilator medications for treatment, and angiography should be performed if necessary. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause great harm to children, and if it is not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
