Question
My child is currently experiencing developmental delays and has sleep epilepsy. The seizures occur during nighttime sleep. The child is still unable to speak and has low intelligence. Can it be cured?
Answer
Sleep epilepsy is a common type of epilepsy characterized by seizures that occur during sleep. Its main clinical features include sudden and significant behavioral abnormalities during nighttime sleep. Common symptoms include sudden twitching during sleep, mild generalized spasms, and in a few cases, sleep-related aggressive behaviors. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, it is important to undergo regular examinations and treatment, as epilepsy is not an incurable condition.
