Can epilepsy in children be cured?

Epilepsy is a very common disease in daily life. Epilepsy is not only a common disease among adults, but children are also prone to symptoms of epilepsy. Generally, it is due to lesions or abnormal discharges in the child's brain nervous system, which can easily lead to symptoms of epilepsy in the body. It is very harmful to physical health and needs to be treated in time. Treatment can be carried out according to the severity of the disease, and the cure rate of different diseases is also different.

Can childhood epilepsy be cured?

For children with epilepsy, epileptic seizures will recur, and their symptoms will cause the children to be discriminated against by society, affecting their physical and mental health and growth. Therefore, it is extremely important to treat childhood epilepsy.

For epilepsy, cure is extremely vague. Clinically, it is reflected according to the specific situation of the epilepsy patient. Some parents think that only through treatments such as drugs and surgery can childhood epilepsy no longer occur and be completely cured. This is considered to be a cure for childhood epilepsy. However, many parents believe that as long as the onset of epilepsy can be controlled, it is also a state of cure.

Symptoms of epilepsy in children

1. Clinical manifestations: Most epilepsy patients have a genetic tendency from their parents, which is called primary epilepsy. Brain hypoxia, brain atrophy or encephalitis, severe brain trauma, developmental disorders, sequelae of meningitis, etc. are all another type of epilepsy secondary to other diseases. Most of these diseases occur in childhood and have an impact on mental and intellectual development. Once childhood epilepsy is discovered, it must be treated in a timely manner.

2. Genetic factors account for a large part of the onset of absence epilepsy in children. 15% to 44% of CAE children are positive for epilepsy, which is inherited from the family. The types of familial seizures include myoclonus, absence, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and febrile convulsions. The mode of inheritance is still unclear, and it is usually chromosomal congenital inheritance with age-dependent penetrance, or genetic inheritance.

3. The peak incidence period of childhood epilepsy is around 5 years old, and only a few will develop at around 2 years old. Late-onset absence epilepsy does not belong to childhood absence epilepsy. Most of the baby's epilepsy symptoms disappear completely within 2 to 6 years. Less than 3% of epilepsy patients develop generalized tonic-clonic seizures in adulthood. The frequency of seizures is also very small, and they are easily controlled by drug treatment.

Precautions

1. Children with epilepsy must be taken to the epilepsy center of a large tertiary hospital in a timely manner to receive formal treatment.

2. It is entirely possible to cure childhood epilepsy.

3. There is more than one way to cure epilepsy. Being able to control seizures is also one of the cures.
