A 7-month-old boy suddenly started having convulsions without fever, cold, or any apparent reason. His eyes went rigid, he didn’t respond to calls, his limbs became stiff, and his face turned pale. He had three seizures within a month, crying after each one and then falling asleep. He has only vomited once, a white foam.

The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy can be divided into two main categories: those with movement and those without. Symptoms with movement include physical activities or skeletal muscle spasms that cause facial expressions, such as twitching or stiffness of limbs, blinking, clenching of the jaw, or foot arch inversion. Symptoms without movement are mainly manifested as neurological symptoms, such as drowsiness or a decrease in consciousness, making it impossible to respond normally.

Common symptoms of pediatric epilepsy include grand mal seizures, absence seizures, and benign infantile epilepsy.

Pediatric epilepsy is a common chronic disease in children, characterized by abnormal discharge of brain neurons, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. Symptoms are diverse, including motor, sensory, neurological, or autonomic symptoms, with or without changes in consciousness or alertness.

A neighbor’s aunt just had a son, and everyone was happy, but the child’s face turned pale, the muscles spasmed, and sometimes it looked like he was fainting. After examination, it was diagnosed as benign infantile spasms.
