Epilepsy is a chronic, recurrent, transient brain dysfunction syndrome.
The well-known symptoms of foaming at the mouth and convulsing on the ground are just one external form of an epileptic seizure.
Like Shao Deyao's rhythmic tongue root twitching, or his repeated involuntary silly laughter, or any part of the body having involuntary recurring tremors, all can be considered as epileptic seizures.
There are many causes of epilepsy, most of which are related to brain pathology.
On Monday afternoon, Lin Jie received all of Shao Deyao's test results.
Through these tests, Lin Jie confirmed that his tongue root twitching was indeed an epileptic seizure, and also identified the cause of his seizures, a brain aneurysm.
A brain aneurysm close to the brainstem had caused a malformation of blood vessels, affecting nearby brain tissue and resulting in mild epilepsy symptoms.
"Expert Lin, Expert Lin, you are my lifesaver!"
