Question
What Are the Causes of Epilepsy in Pediatric Patients?
Answer
The causes of epilepsy in patients include primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. The specific cause of primary epilepsy is currently unclear and may be related to factors such as hereditary, birth injuries, intrauterine distress, and difficulty breathing at birth. Secondary epilepsy is caused by intracranial organic changes. Based on the provided information, we cannot determine the type of epilepsy in the child. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a detailed examination. The doctor will conduct physical examinations and necessary tests to determine the type of epilepsy and guide the use of anti-epileptic medication treatment. The doctor may inquire whether the child has undergone a brain MRI examination and if any abnormalities have been found.
