summary

Some time ago, I took my nephew to the amusement park to play. When I was preparing to play the game facilities, a child suddenly frothed and fell to the ground with convulsions. The parents of the child were scared. Fortunately, some kind-hearted people around helped to send him to the hospital. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of severe epilepsy.

What are the symptoms of severe epilepsy

First, the clinical manifestations of epileptic seizures are complex and diverse. Generalized tonic clonic seizures are characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and generalized tonic and convulsions. The typical seizure process can be divided into tonic phase, clonic phase and late seizure phase. The duration of an attack is generally less than 5 minutes, often accompanied by tongue bite, urinary incontinence, and easy to cause asphyxia and other injuries. Tonic clonic seizures can be seen in any type of epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome.

Second: ankylosis attack: it is characterized by strong and continuous contraction of the whole body or bilateral muscles, and muscle rigidity, which makes the limbs and body fixed in a certain tense posture, such as axial body extension, back flexion or forward flexion. It usually lasts from several seconds to tens of seconds, but generally not more than one minute. Tonic seizures are more common in epilepsy patients with diffuse and organic brain damage, which is generally a sign of serious illness, mainly in children.

Third: myoclonic seizures: sudden rapid and short contraction of muscles, which is similar to the body or limb shock like shaking, sometimes several times in a row, mostly after awakening. It can be a whole body action or a local action. Myoclonus is common in clinic, but not all myoclonus are epileptic seizures. There are both physiological and pathological myoclonus.
