Question
What Are the Post-Epileptic Sequelae in Children?
Answer
Epilepsy itself usually does not have particularly obvious sequelae, except for severe conditions such as trauma or status epilepticus during recurrence. As for issues like slurred speech or language disorders, these are typically not consequences of the epilepsy itself but may be caused by the same etiology as epilepsy. For example, if a child develops epilepsy shortly after birth and still has language disorders at five years old, this may be accompanied by varying degrees of intellectual disability. These situations may be related to issues that occurred during birth, such as aspiration, brain disease, intrauterine respiratory distress, or birth trauma, which led to epilepsy complications involving language and intellectual issues, rather than post-epileptic sequelae causing language disorders.
