Abstract: Children's epilepsy is the most common disease for children, so what causes children's epilepsy?

Epilepsy, commonly known as "lambwind", is a recurrent, sudden and temporary brain dysfunction caused by the destruction of brain cells. Due to the different location and transmission range of the lesion, its clinical symptoms are different,? The light person loses his mind, nods, falls suddenly, loses consciousness, four limbs twitch, foaming at the mouth, his teeth close, his eyes turn up, he becomes incontinent in urine and urine, or even suffocates to death, and he is like a normal person after waking up. Some patients have unilateral limb twitch and infantile cerebral palsy hyperactivity disorder. The incidence of this kind of disease is on the rise in China, with an incidence of about 3%. This disease mostly occurs in childhood and adolescence, which brings great pain and financial burden to many patients.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain dysfunction syndrome caused by many reasons, which can be mainly caused by the following reasons:

　　1。 Congenital diseases: such as chromosome abnormalities, hereditary metabolic disorders, brain malformations and congenital hydrocephalus.

　　2。 Trauma: Brain birth injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy. Contusion, hemorrhage and ischemia can also lead to the softening of local brain tissue, which will later become the focus of epilepsy. Epilepsy occurred in about 5% of adults with closed brain trauma; Epilepsy occurs more frequently in severe and open brain trauma, up to about 30%.

　　3。 Infection: The effects of hyperemia, edema, toxins and exudates in the blood during the acute phase of various encephalitis, meningitis and brain abscess can cause seizures, and the scars and adhesions formed after recovery may also become epileptic foci; Parasites, such as cerebral schistosomiasis and cerebral cysticercosis, often cause epilepsy.

　　4。 Poisoning: lead, mercury, carbon monoxide, ethanol and other poisonings, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypertension syndrome, rapidly progressive nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause seizures.

　　5。 Intracranial tumor: In addition to brain trauma, brain tumor is the common cause of epilepsy after 30 years old, especially slow growing glioma, meningioma, astrocytoma, etc.

　　6。 Cerebrovascular disease: In addition to the younger age when vascular malformations cause seizures, cerebrovascular disease epilepsy is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Epilepsy can be caused by hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebral and vascular diseases. About 5% of patients began to have epilepsy about one year after the disease.

　　7。 Nutritional metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, hyperthyroidism, vitamin B6 deficiency, etc. can cause seizures.

　　8。 Degenerative diseases: such as tuberous sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and so on, epilepsy is also common.

　　9。 Hyperthermic convulsions: severe or frequent hyperthermic convulsions in childhood are likely to cause local cerebral hypoxia or edema, which will later form epileptic foci and cause disease.
