Question
Neighbor Zhang Brother’s child suddenly fainted and had convulsive symptoms while playing in the community park last week. Experienced elders believed it was an epilepsy seizure, fortunately, it only lasted about ten seconds. Which groups are more prone to epilepsy?
Answer
Hello, epilepsy can occur in all age groups. The incidence of childhood epilepsy is higher than that of adults. As age increases, the incidence of epilepsy decreases. After entering old age (after 65 years), due to an increase in cerebrovascular diseases, dementia, and degenerative neurological diseases, the incidence of epilepsy increases again.
