Question
What Are the Characteristics of Epileptic Seizures in Children?
Answer
During a recurrence of pediatric epilepsy, patients may suddenly lose consciousness, have dilated pupils, and experience stiffness or clonic spasms in the muscles of the entire body, or present with tonic-clonic spasms. Tonic seizures are characterized by sustained and strong muscle contractions, with the limbs and trunk remaining fixed in a certain position for 5 to 20 seconds. Clonic seizures are manifested by rhythmic and repetitive contractions of the limbs and trunk.
