Question

In September 2013, the child started showing a nodding symptom as if scared, and by the end of November, the symptom worsened, becoming involuntary and unconscious. Each seizure lasted about 1 to 3 seconds. Could this symptom be pediatric myoclonic epilepsy? How should it be treated?

Answer

Pediatric myoclonic epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by sudden abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain, leading to transient brain dysfunction. According to the patient’s symptoms description, it is indeed possible to have pediatric myoclonic epilepsy. Current treatment methods for pediatric myoclonic epilepsy include localization repair therapy and oral medication to control clinical symptom attack . Localization repair therapy is a method to repair damaged neuron cells, restore brain neuron cell function, and balance abnormal discharges, achieving the effect of completely preventing epilepsy seizures.
