The child suddenly stays motionless, and parents often think that the child is distracted, but if they slap or shout at the child, it will not help. At this time, they should be alert to whether they are suffering from children's epilepsy. Experts remind that once it is confirmed that he has an epileptic absence attack, he should receive standard treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Most absence attacks can be controlled. Once he is neglected or treated irregularly, it may cause further damage to brain function, causing greater damage.

Stunned when jumping the tendons, it was epilepsy

Jiajia is a lively and lovely girl, but she is always unhappy after school recently, which makes her mother worried. After repeated questioning by her mother, Jia Jia explained the reason: during this period of time at school, when everyone was playing rubber band jumping, Jia Jia was happy to play together at the beginning, but every time it was her turn to jump, she would unconsciously stand still when she ran to the rubber band, asking her partners to call her several times, or even push her, She can react. After so many times of repetition, the little partners were unwilling to play with her, which made her unhappy.

Mother took Jiajia to the provincial department of maternal and child neurology and did an EEG examination at the same time. During the project of "excessive ventilation", Jiajia was stunned again. The report of EEG showed that when hyperventilation lasted for 30 seconds, a widespread burst of 3Hz spike and slow wave rhythm with absence attack was induced. The doctor told her mother that Jiajia was suffering from epilepsy and absence seizures in children and needed to receive certain drug treatment.

High incidence between 5 and 7 years old, onset when awakening

Luo Xingang, a physician in the medical rehabilitation department of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Institute, introduced that children's epilepsy absence seizure is an age-dependent idiopathic generalized epilepsy. It is a non convulsive, transient and comprehensive seizure. The onset age is about 3-12 years old, and the peak age is 5-7 years old, accounting for about 2% to 10% of children's epilepsy.

"In clinical practice, it is mainly manifested as sudden loss of consciousness, including the sudden stop of ongoing autonomous activities and language, staring eyes, empty eyes, and dull expression, but generally will not fall or drop objects", Luo Xingang said that the attacks occurred in the state of awakening, and when the attack lasted for several seconds to tens of seconds, consciousness suddenly recovered, But children often have a blank mind about the attack they just experienced.

It is difficult to wake up due to frequent absences. It is recommended to check

It is reported that this kind of situation is often ignored by parents or teachers because the symptoms of the attack are not obvious and the duration is short. Sometimes, even if it is found, it is easy to be mistaken by parents for children's inattention and stupor when they study, and it is criticized as a bad problem, which virtually increases the psychological burden of children. In fact, it is different from the general trance. During the absence seizure, whether shouting or gestures, it is not easy to wake up the patient.

Experts remind that parents should know more about epileptic seizures, and pay more attention to the child's subtle abnormal performance at ordinary times. If the child often appears absent-minded, especially when it is difficult to wake up easily by shouting or gestures, it should be highly vigilant, take the child to the neurology department of the hospital in time, and do EEG to make a clear diagnosis.
