Question

What are the high incidence groups of pediatric epilepsy?

Answer

Pediatric epilepsy can occur at any age, but the incidence rate is higher in children than in adults. As children grow older, the incidence rate of epilepsy decreases. As people enter old age, the incidence rate of epilepsy increases again due to an increase in cerebral vascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children, and if not treated promptly or with improper treatment methods, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to infants. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their children’s conditions and seek treatment for them in a timely manner.
