Convulsion is a common acute and severe illness in childhood, with clinical manifestations mainly including convulsions and coma. It is also known as "seizure" or colloquially as "convulsion".

Slow convulsion is another type of convulsion in children, with a slow onset and mainly manifesting as recurrent convulsions, coma, or paralysis. The prognosis is generally poor. It is often caused by prolonged illness or severe illness leading to deficiency of qi and blood, imbalance of yin and yang, or transformation from acute convulsion. It can also be caused by congenital insufficiency, improper postnatal care, and deficiency of essence and qi. It is often related to injury to the spleen and stomach, excessive liver yang due to spleen deficiency, injury to yin and blood in febrile diseases, invasion of wind evil into the body, congenital insufficiency, and kidney deficiency leading to hyperactivity of liver yang. The disease is located in the liver, spleen, and kidney, with deficiency as the main manifestation, but it can also be a combination of deficiency and excess.
