sleep-type epilepsy
Introduction
Introduction to sleep-type epilepsy Sleep-type epilepsy is a common seizure classification in epilepsy type. Its seizure time is in sleep. Its main clinical feature is sudden large behavioral abnormality during nighttime sleep. Common symptoms include sudden convulsions during sleep, mild general paralysis, and sleep-related aggressive behavior in a few cases. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.01%-0.018% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious complication:
Cause
Causes of sleepy epilepsy
1. Genetic factors. A family with a history of epilepsy or a congenital central nervous system or cardiac malformation is prone to occur.
2. Brain damage and brain damage: viral infection during embryonic development, radiation exposure, other
Causes of embryonic dysplasia can cause epilepsy; birth injury, birth injury is also a major cause of epilepsy; craniocerebral trauma.
3. Other diseases of the brain: brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial infections, etc.
Prevention
Sleep-type epilepsy prevention
1. Taboo smoke, wine, tea, coffee, chocolate, Coca-Cola and other foods and drinks containing a lot of caffeine.
2. Less TV (especially thrills, fears, excitement, sad film and television programs) No chess, no cell phone, poker, mahjong, computer, video game console.
3. It is forbidden to work at heights, even if the vehicle is operating, and the rotating machine is often exposed to water, fire, electricity, etc.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of sleep-type epilepsy
diagnosis:
Because sleep-type seizures occur during sleep, it is difficult for EEG to capture abnormal discharges. If necessary, 24-hour EEG can be used to monitor abnormal discharges in order to accurately detect abnormal discharge and assist sleep-epileptic epilepsy. diagnosis.
About 30% of EEG episodes were abnormally discharged during the episode of the frontal area. About half of the cases showed only anterior head rhythmic slow waves, and 10% of cases had epileptic EEG showing diffuse background activity flattening. . Only 11.8% of the EEG during the waking period showed epileptic discharge. PSG monitoring confirmed that the onset of the disease occurred in the slow wave sleep period (NREM stage 2 to 4), and there may be a small number of attacks during the awake period. More than half of the children had neuropsychiatric abnormalities during the day, including difficulty in awakening in the morning, fatigue, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
