I. causes
The causes of epilepsy are complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain diseases, systemic or systemic diseases, etc.
1. Congenital diseases: such as chromosomal abnormalities, genetic metabolic disorders, brain malformations and congenital hydrocephalus.
2. Trauma: Craniocerebral birth injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy. Contusion, hemorrhage and ischemia can also cause local brain tissue to soften and become epileptic foci in the future. About 5% of adults have epilepsy after closed brain injury, and 30% of adults have epilepsy after severe or open brain injury.
3. Infection: in the acute stage of various encephalitis, meningitis and brain abscess, congestion, edema, the influence of toxin and exudate in the blood can cause epileptic attack, scars and adhesions formed after recovery may also become epileptic focus; parasites, such as cerebral schistosomiasis and cerebral cysticercosis, often cause epilepsy.
4. Poisoning: lead, mercury, carbon monoxide, ethanol and other poisoning, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypertension syndrome, acute nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause seizures.
5. Intracranial tumor: for patients with epilepsy after the age of 30, brain tumor is a common cause except brain injury, especially slow-growing glioma, meningioma, astrocytoma, etc.
6. Cerebrovascular disease: in addition to the younger age when vascular malformation produces epilepsy, cerebrovascular disease epilepsy is more common in the middle-aged and the elderly. Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases can cause epilepsy. About 5% of the patients began to have epilepsy about one year after the disease.
7. Nutritional and metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, hyperthyroidism, vitamin B6 deficiency, etc. can cause seizures.
8. Degenerative diseases: such as tuberous sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and other common epileptic seizures.
9. Febrile convulsion: severe or frequent febrile convulsions in childhood are likely to cause local brain hypoxia or edema, and later form epileptic focus and cause disease.
II. First aid measures
1. Patients with aura attack should inform their families or people around them in time. If conditions and time are available, the patients can be helped to the bed. If they are too late, they can lie down to prevent sudden loss of consciousness and falling injury. Quickly remove the surrounding hard objects and sharp tools to reduce the injury to the body during the attack
2. Quickly loosen the collar of the patient and turn the head to one side, so as to facilitate the discharge of secretions and vomitus from the mouth and prevent choking and suffocation caused by the inflow into the trachea. Do not plug anything into the mouth of the patient, do not fill the medicine, to prevent suffocation.
3. Don't pinch the patient, it's not good for the patient
4. Do not press the patient's limbs forcibly during the period of convulsion. Excessive force can cause fracture and muscle strain and increase the patient's pain.
5. Epilepsy can be relieved within 5 minutes. If the attack is continuous or frequent, the patient should be sent to the hospital quickly.
Three, nursing
In order to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Regular life, regular rest, sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late, fatigue, etc. Avoid watching TV or playing video games for a long time.
2. Eat light food, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid excitable drinks and food such as coffee, coke and spicy, and quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid drugs containing caffeine and ephedrine. Penicillins or floxacin drugs can sometimes induce seizures.
3. Take medicine on time and regularly, and follow up the clinic regularly.
4. It is forbidden to drive a car; to swim in the sea or rivers; to work at heights, not operate machines, etc.
