Question

At the beginning of the year, the child seemed somewhat slow in responding and occasionally would have moments of staring blankly. We didn’t pay much attention at the time. However, last month, the child suddenly collapsed and began to have convulsions. After being examined in the hospital, the doctor diagnosed the child with epilepsy.

Answer

Hello, the causes of epilepsy are quite diverse, including specific brain lesions or widespread brain lesions, as well as systemic metabolic or intoxication reactions. There are also some cases where the cause remains undetermined. In clinical practice, issues such as brain injury, brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, and brain infections are particularly worth paying attention to.
