Question
The patient suddenly screams and has seizures in sleep, with sweating on the forehead and eyes rolling up. The symptoms occurred twice, with an interval of 2 hours. Neurosurgical examination did not find any brain damage or old injuries. Currently diagnosed with epilepsy, but the cause is unknown and the diagnosis is uncertain.
Answer
The possibility of a diagnosis for epileptic minor seizures is relatively high. Minor seizures typically manifest as a brief loss of consciousness, lasting no longer than 30 seconds, and are generally not accompanied by falls or convulsions. It is recommended to undergo an EEG examination during the onset of symptoms, which may help confirm the diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the patient’s emotional management, avoiding excessive fatigue, and reducing emotional stimulation.
