Is brain injury easy to suffer from epilepsy

summary

After brain injury, it's easy to cause epilepsy. My cousin suffered from epilepsy just because of a brain injury. Now he often gets sick, and sometimes taking medicine doesn't work. Let's talk about the knowledge of epilepsy caused by brain injury!

Is brain injury easy to suffer from epilepsy

First of all: after brain trauma, epilepsy is caused by brain trauma, intracranial surgery, cerebral hemorrhage, craniocerebral virus infection, brain development is not perfect, acute alcoholism, or fetal brain injury, brain hypoxia injury, neonatal brain congenital dysplasia caused by epilepsy. Pay attention not to infection, if there are symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Secondly, the incidence of post-traumatic epilepsy was 0.5% - 50%. The longer the coma time was, the more serious the brain parenchyma injury was and the higher the incidence was. Such as acute intracranial hematoma compression, intracranial hypertension caused by edema after brain parenchymal injury, can lead to seizures, brain injury after brain surgery, brain contusion and laceration, brain atrophy lead to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, brain cell dysfunction, epilepsy.

Finally: brain injury is one of the common causes of epilepsy, epilepsy is a chronic disease due to sudden abnormal discharge of brain neurons, leading to transient brain dysfunction. The treatment of epilepsy should start from the mechanism of seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Only by repairing the damaged neurons can we completely eliminate seizures

matters needing attention

After suffering from epilepsy due to brain trauma, we must actively treat, use drugs on time, and ensure adequate sleep time. We should pay attention to rest and gradually cultivate good living habits. Pay attention to the quiet room, light should be dark, reduce all interference to patients.
