Seizures in Children
Seizures in Children
Seizures are generally described as the sudden and abnormal dysfunction of the brain that results in sudden changes in the behavior as well as movements of various body parts. Seizure is actually described as the abnormal or excessive neuronal activity of the brain. This sudden electrical activity creates muscle spasms, loss of consciousness and several other body dysfunctions. Anyone can go through seizures under some circumstances but children are more prone to suffer from seizures. Around 5% of children below 15 years of age, go through seizures. Ten in every thousand children suffer from recurring epileptic seizures. In most cases, seizures in children are a passing phase and don't really require lifetime medication, if provided with an early diagnosis and proper child care. Never overlook the symptoms and keep a regular follow-up with health care provider.
