Cure rate of epilepsy in children

The cure rate of epilepsy in children is very low, because epilepsy is generally a chronic disease of the brain. Epilepsy is easy to occur when mental stimulation or external environment changes, and it is not easy to correct. Moreover, whether children epilepsy can be cured depends on the disease

1. Some benign epilepsy, such as febrile convulsion, benign myoclonus in children, BECT, and most of children's absence epilepsy, generally do not need special treatment. With the increase of age, most children will recover from puberty;

2. Some secondary childhood epilepsy, such as focal cortical dysplasia, craniofacial angiomatosis, and partial tuberous sclerosis, can be cured by surgical treatment; For epileptic seizures caused by abnormal development of hippocampus, surgery can be performed, but it can not guarantee that there will be no recurrence in the future.

To sum up, some children with definite etiology epilepsy can be cured by removing the cause and giving corresponding treatment. As long as early detection, early treatment, and adhere to treatment, the prognosis of most patients with epilepsy is very good. Most epileptic patients are no different from normal people in the period of no seizure. Children with epilepsy can live and study as normal people, and they can love, marry and have children as normal people when they are adults.
