Epilepsy in children

Even though epilepsy can have its first manifestations at any age, most frequent it does become visible during childhood. Epilepsy interferes with the normal transmission of signals between the brain nerve cells causing a visible external seizure upon the child.

Epileptic seizures can show up spontaneously, without a well established triggering element (criptogenetic epilepsy) or sometimes they can be caused by fever, hypoglycemic status or infections (in this situation we can talk about occasional epilepsy).

Epilepsy seizures can manifest sometimes quite dramatically and this expression of the disease makes the parents panic and act irrationally. Even though you might not be a parent of a child suffering of epilepsy, you might be a teacher or a person who interacts with children a lot, and this is a condition that should determine you to be ready in any moment to handle well any seizure.
