Leon did have an impact on the children with epilepsy?

Grand mal epilepsy is one of the most common attack type, characterized by the sudden loss of consciousness and generalized muscle twitch. This type if the past history of significant brain injury, no significant intellectual influence the prognosis good. Where the age of onset with severe brain injury, treatment is not timely, the past history, there are many long duration of the attack and difficult to control, easily accompanied by serious problems such as mental retardation, prognosis is poor.


Grand mal epilepsy etiology is more complex, about half of the pathogenic causes of children obviously could not be found. Possible pathogenic factors: febrile convulsion, head trauma, brain Dysplasia, neonatal asphyxia and birth trauma, encephalitis and meningitis, congenital metabolic, toxic encephalopathy after exceptions, after carbon monoxide poisoning, sequelae of kernicterus.

Grand mal epilepsy manifested in children with systemic muscle twitch, eyes, eyes fixed on, masticatory muscle tension, mouth half open, easy to bite his tongue and laryngeal muscle spasm can be caused by apnea, blue in the face and water out. Attack continued for about 5 minutes, after the attack were fatigue, headaches, vomiting and sometimes whole body muscle pain, and so on. Ranged attack attack several times a day or a few years time. Grand mal epilepsy in awake, during sleep, and some irregular.

Parents and caregivers to be taken to prevent brain injury in children, avoid the infection of the brain, when addressing and preventing febrile convulsion fever, prevention of gas poisoning in winter. If jaundice does not return the neonatal period or in children increased, active treatment, prevent kernicterus and causes grand mal epilepsy. Such as the body appears to convulsions in children, such as delirious immediately to hospital for treatment, check the EEG to confirmed, such as epilepsy should be timely and effective treatment, reducing the number of attack and duration, mitigate the effects on intellectual development in children.
