What are the diagnostic methods for epilepsy in children?

The examination methods for pediatric epilepsy mainly include the following aspects: 1. Clinical observation: Preliminary assessment of the possibility of epilepsy by observing the child's facial features, skin condition, motor coordination, etc. For example, examining eye movements, ears, skin color, and coordination of motion. 2. Medical history and physical examination: Including comprehensive physical examination, neurological examination, and assessment of the child's intellectual development. 3. Electroencephalogram (EEG) testing: One of the most important diagnostic tools, especially during epileptic seizures, as EEG can provide valuable diagnostic information. Video EEG monitoring significantly improves the accuracy of epilepsy diagnosis. 4. Imaging studies: Such as head CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which help doctors further identify the underlying cause. Various examination methods are available for pediatric epilepsy. By combining clinical observations with these diagnostic tests, physicians can make more accurate diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans.
