What is occipital lobe epilepsy

First, occipital lobe epilepsy is divided into two types: primary occipital lobe epilepsy and secondary occipital lobe epilepsy. The former is also known as benign occipital lobe epilepsy in children. It is more common in children aged 4-8 years old. There is no organic brain damage and there is a tendency of self-healing. The latter, also known as symptomatic occipital lobe epilepsy, is often secondary to congenital brain dysplasia, brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumor, brain parasitic disease, etc.

Secondly, occipital lobe epilepsy is characterized by a group of symptoms, including autonomic nervous disorders such as vomiting, behavioral abnormalities, eye deviation, disturbance of consciousness, etc., which can be followed by generalized seizures.

Finally: children with benign occipital lobe epilepsy were first treated with sodium valproate, and most of them had a good prognosis. Secondary occipital lobe epilepsy can be treated by biochip technology when the effect of drug treatment is poor.
