Question
What should be noted in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy for protecting brain function?
Answer
Pediatric epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in pediatric clinics, with an annual incidence rate of 35 per 100,000 people in our country, with an estimated prevalence of about 3.5% to 4.80%. Approximately 60% of patients develop the condition during childhood. Frequent or severe seizures can lead to brain damage and neurological disabilities. Modern medicine, through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, can control epilepsy in over 80% of pediatric patients.
