Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease and a common disease in neurology.The epidemiologic characters,clinical characteristics and risk factors of epilepsy vary from region to region.Although there are relatively few studies on epilepsy in the plateau,current studies show that its morbidity and prevalence are higher than those in other regions.There is a large gap in epilepsy treatment in the plateau area,and the quality of life of patients is poor.Among them,cerebrovascular diseases,cerebral parasitic diseases and craniocerebral trauma are common causes of epilepsy in the plateau area.This paper summarizes the epidemiologic characteristics,clinical characteristics,risk factors,etiology,comorbidities and other related studies of epilepsy in plateau areas,aiming to offer valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy patients in plateau areas.
