What is Pediatric Epilepsy?

Pediatric epilepsy is a disorder characterized by sudden, recurrent, and transient brain dysfunction caused by abnormal excessive discharge of neurons in the brain. Clinical symptoms vary, with the most common being consciousness impairment or loss of consciousness, sudden collapse, convulsions of the limbs, upward rolling of the eyes, drooling, and incontinence of urine and feces. There may also be regional or generalized muscle stiffness or clonic spasms. With children being so young, it’s best to go to the hospital for a check-up and receive symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.

What is Pediatric Hydrocephalus? How is it Treated?

Pediatric hydrocephalus primarily involves an increase in cerebrospinal fluid. When cerebrospinal fluid accumulates excessively or is obstructed in its drainage, it leads to hydrocephalus, causing the ventricles to shrink and the brain tissue to be compressed. The treatment of hydrocephalus focuses on the child’s condition, with severe cases requiring surgical intervention for cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Early intervention can have minimal impact on some children. The main effect is the compression of brain tissue, with the most severe cases leading to near-death.
