Question
A two-year-old infant exhibited unusual symptoms after eating, including rolling back the eyelids, pale cyanosis of the face, purple lips, but no convulsions. Subsequently, vomiting, fever, and other cold symptoms appeared. The parents asked if these symptoms are related to epilepsy.
Answer
The doctor pointed out that severe tremor symptoms are often referred to as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a more advanced form of tremor syndrome, commonly seen in delayed cerebral hypoperfusion. To diagnose the condition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required to rule out organic brain disease. The treatment plan includes nutritional support for the nervous system and stimulation of damaged neurons to promote the recovery of nervous system function. If treatment is neglected, it may lead to chronic worsening such as severe tremor syndrome - epilepsy - spastic tetraparesis - mental retardation. Parents should not harbor illusions and miss the opportunity for treatment.
