Abstract

Epilepsy is a common children's neural disease that is largely controlled by anti‑epileptic drugs. Nevertheless, children experience repeated attacks that develop into intractable epilepsy (IE). The aim of the present study was to examine the inherited metabolic abnormalities in children with IE to provide early etiological and symptomatic treatment. Urine and blood samples of 56 children with IE served as the experimental group and 56 cases of children with IE, who were successfully treated served as the control group, and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry for the metabolic screening of amino, organic, and fatty acids. Urine routine, hepatic function, blood biochemistry, imageology of encephalon and brain stem‑evoked potential (auditory and optical) were also examined. Of the 27 IE children confirmed as abnormal in urine and blood screening, there were 19 cases (70.3%) of hypoevolutism or retrogression of intelligence and motor function, 15 cases (55.5%) of brain stem‑evoked potential and of encephalic computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormality, 6 cases (22.2%) of abnormal family history and of abnormal blood biochemistry and blood gas analysis, and 5 cases (18.5%) with skin change and of abnormal hepatic function. Of the 27 cases, 11 cases (19.6%) were diagnosed with inherited metabolic diseases. Among the children in the control group, 3 cases showed abnormal urine test results, one of which had family history, one had hypoevolutism or retrogression of intelligence and motor function, one had brain stem-evoked potential and encephalic CT or MRI abnormality, while two of the 3 cases had inherited metabolic abnormalities. The correlation analysis revealed that abnormal urine test was significantly correlated with inherited metabolic abnormalities (P<0.05). Of the 56 IE patients, 25 cases (44.6%) were identified as abnormal under urine screening, and of the 25 cases, 6 cases had simple generalized seizure (24.0%), 5 cases had simple partial seizure (20.0%), 2 cases had multiple types of seizure (8.0%), and 12 cases had infantile spasms (48.0%). Six cases in the control group showed an abnormal urine test, with 3 cases of simple generalized seizure, 2 cases of simple partial seizure and 1 case of multiple types of seizure. The abnormal urine in infantile spasms was often the risk factor of IE. A total of 46 IE children underwent blood screening and 13 cases were diagnosed as abnormal. In conclusion, inherited metabolic abnormality was a common influential factor in the pathogenesis of IE, especially in infantile spasms. Screening of inborn metabolic abnormality in children with IE should be conducted as early as possible, to achieve early treatment and improve their prognosis.
