matters needing attention

The prevention of epilepsy is very important. The prevention of epilepsy is not only related to the medical field, but also related to the whole society.

The prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of the primary disease leading to symptomatic epilepsy syndrome are also very important. For those with genetic factors, the importance of genetic counseling should be emphasized. Detailed family investigation should be carried out to find out whether the parents, siblings and close relatives of the patients have epileptic seizures and their seizure characteristics. For some serious genetic diseases that can cause mental retardation and epilepsy, prenatal diagnosis or neonatal screening should be carried out to determine termination of pregnancy or early treatment.
