In recent years, there has been an increasing number of epilepsy patients, including some infants, which has made many parents very scared and worried because their babies are still so young and have to suffer from such a big disease. So parents also want to understand the causes of epilepsy, so that they can pay more attention to it in their daily lives. So, how can baby epilepsy be caused?
1. Genetic factors, if there is a history of epilepsy or patients with heart malformations or congenital central nervous system in the family, are prone to developing epilepsy and are likely to pass it on to future generations.
2. The causes of febrile seizures, whether long-lasting or severe, can cause certain damage to the brain, such as the loss of neurons and the proliferation of glial cells, which may also lead to epilepsy in the future.
3. Various brain diseases and brain disorders are also causes of epilepsy, such as cerebrovascular disease, meningitis, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, abnormal brain development, and so on.
4. Injuries caused by being squeezed in the birth canal during the production process, or being infected by viruses during development, or due to other reasons leading to fetal underdevelopment, can all cause epilepsy.
No matter what disease it is, only by understanding the cause can targeted treatment be given and patients be better helped to recover their health. There are various causes of epilepsy, and different etiologies can lead to different types of epilepsy. Therefore, only by accurately understanding the etiology can we treat it more effectively.
