Convulsion in children affects intellectual development?

Commonly known as cramp or convulsion ventilation. Brain injury can cause convulsions, it was well known. Since 1951 foreign scholars propose \"convulsions after traumatic brain injury:\" concept, research is gradually increasing, most scholars believe that seizures can cause temporary brain dysfunction, and may result in irreversible brain lesions. Effect of convulsions on memory at a time, and damage is caused by concussion, and the status convulsion may have severe brain damage, resulting in a mental recession, epilepsy, focal brain dysfunction and other symptoms.

Cause of brain damage caused by severe convulsions are: ① brain metabolism increase seizures, brain oxygen consumption increases. Oxygen and energy supply while reducing ② convulsion. Seizures may occur when systemic hypoxia. When convulsion patients often have breathing irregular, even breathing stops, respiratory secretions obstruction, so heavy convulsions appear cyanosis, systemic hypoxia which can lead to cerebral hypoxia. When another convulsion patients with hypotension, cardiac disorders, can affect the brain\'s blood supply, falling blood pressure have a direct impact on the occurrence of brain injury. There are late convulsion to hypoglycemia, causes irreversible brain damage.

Brief convulsion of the brain injury may not appear is the compensatory function of the brain, but repeated convulsions, or at the onset of convulsion, brain neurons on the utilization of chemical energy greatly increases, compensatory function decline, depleted energy reserves of the brain, and finally lead to irreversible brain damage. Convulsion in children more than 30 minutes you can produce brain ischemic neuronal lesions, and adults seizures more than 6 hours to this disease. This shows that the serious effects of seizures on brain development in children is huge, especially children aged 6 months to 4, the brain is in constant development perfection stage, largest seizures on the brain injury.

Severe convulsions caused the sequelae of chronic persistent mental retardation, paralysis, epilepsy and mild brain dysfunction syndrome. Minor brain dysfunction syndrome expressed as excited, abnormal behavior, attention is not focused, emotional disorders, paresthesia, language delay, learning difficulties, etc.

Due to repeated seizures or convulsions in children with brain damage for a long time, and seriously affects children in particular brain development in children 6 months to 4 years old, convulsion in children must therefore be controlled when there is a possibility of seizure recurrence prevention must be long-term medication.

At the time of seizure to choose the most effective drugs control seizures, convulsions are not allowed under any circumstances more than 20-30 minutes, even if only minor, partial seizures and also to control outbreaks in a timely manner. Control the seizure in a timely manner, prevention of convulsion is the most important measures to prevent brain injury. Most effective anticonvulsant drugs preferred stability also take anti-hypoxia measures, to strengthen care, maintaining airway patency, sputum, oxygen and, if necessary, endotracheal intubation, artificial respiration also symptomatic treatment of high fever, low blood sugar, cerebral edema, and so on. After the seizure control you want to actively look for the cause, is determined by clinical symptoms and laboratory tests to check which of the following diseases, appropriate measures can be taken for treatment, eliminating the cause is the key to prevention of recurrent attacks of convulsions.

Caused convulsion continued of causes has: ① Epilepsy; ② high fever convulsion; ③ infection: including various hot STD and cranial within infection,; ④ hypoxia sexual disease: including asphyxia, respiratory, and circulatory system disease, carbon monoxide poisoning,; ⑤ metabolism disorder: including water poisoning, high sodium blood syndrome, low blood glucose, low blood calcium, low blood magnesium, alkali poisoning, and anti-diuretic hormone secretion disorders, and genetic metabolism defects disease,; ⑥ brain Department disease: including brain Department tumor, and malformation, and trauma,; ⑦ poisoning: including drug poisoning, and food poisoning, and heavy metal poisoning, and pesticide poisoning,.
