Abstract:
Epilepsy is one of the common neurological diseases in the nervous system. The susceptibility, seizure frequency and drug efficacy in epilepsy vary across different regions, possibly related to living environment and genetic factors. The unique geographical environment and dietary habits of people living on plateaus are associated with occurrence and development of epilepsy to some extent. However, research on the correlation between plateau environment and epilepsy is currently limited. This paper comprehensively reviews the correlation between plateau environment and epilepsy, aiming to better understand the real scenarios and pathogenesis of epilepsy and offer valuable reference for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in plateau areas.
