Question

While playing in the park, a 6-year-old child suddenly collapsed and twitched, and was later diagnosed with epilepsy. Why did the child suddenly develop this disease?

Answer

  1. Epileptic seizures need to be differentiated from the following conditions: hysteria, fainting, overbreathing syndrome, migraine, transient ischemic attack, and narcolepsy.
  2. The differential diagnosis of symptomatic epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes includes systemic diseases such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, aminoaciduria, and brain diseases such as birth trauma history, history of high fever convulsions, history of brain trauma, and history of stroke.
