00:00What are the effects of the epileptic syndrome?
00:05The epileptic syndrome comes from the encephalopathy of the epileptic development,
00:13which are those conditions that are characterized by the fact that there is a compromise of development at various levels,
00:21in particular from the point of view of cognitive development,
00:26as a result of a cause that generates both compromise and epilepsy.
00:32However, epilepsy in itself, subsequently,
00:37induces a further progressive aggravation of compromise in the various areas,
00:43cognitive, language, relationship, autonomy,
00:50and the possibility of reaching an adequate level on the learning level,
00:57and in practice the impossibility of entering the world of work in an autonomous way.
01:04The epileptic syndrome occurs in the pediatric stage,
01:09in some cases as an evolution of very early forms,
01:15in the first months, in the first year of life.
01:20In other cases, it occurs brutally at the pre-school age, 5, 6, 7 years.
01:30It is characterized by the association,
01:35specifically by the association of different types of crises,
01:41among which the most handicapped are the tonic or atonic crises,
01:48which involve a brutal and violent fall in anticipation,
01:53which in turn can lead to further damage due to consequences
02:00linked to cranial trauma, substantially.
02:04It also has the characteristic of being a resistant drug,
02:09at least until today,
02:12and of being intended to continue even in advanced adult age.
