Children's epilepsy may affect brain development experts call for attention to the golden age of infants and young children treatment |
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 5 (Reporter Wen Jinghua) Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in children and adolescents.
Jiang Yuwu, director of the Pediatrics Department of Peking University First Hospital, said that epilepsy in infants and young children must be treated in a timely and formal manner to minimize or eliminate the adverse effects of epileptic encephalopathy on the normal development of children's brains.
Drugs and surgery are the most commonly used treatments for epilepsy.
"For adults, treatment one year earlier or one year later will not have a great impact on brain function, but for a baby whose brain is developing at a high speed, epileptic encephalopathy may cause heavier brain damage for a month.
For example, Jiang Yuwu said that language development is mainly completed before the age of 5.
He also pointed out that the brain damage caused by epilepsy should not be exaggerated.
