TYPES OF EPILEPSY
• IDIOPATHIC
• SYMPTOMATIC
• CRYPTOGENIC
![Page 9: 1 Berkshire West Primary Care Trusts EPILEPSY INTRODUCTION TRAINING PROGRAMME Berkshire West Primary Care Trusts is a collaboration between Newbury and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9cf61/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

TYPES OF EPILEPSYThere are 3 types of epilepsy:
• Symptomatic - where a • cause is found e.g. head injury,
structural abnormality• Idiopathic - no cause but may be due
to an inherent tendency to experience seizures
• Cryptogenic - no cause is found but a structural rather than genetic cause is suspected

WHAT IS SUDEP?
• SUDEP is a recognised syndrome where a person with epilepsy dies suddenly and no other cause of death is found
• Prevalence is 1:1000 per year
• For people with severe epilepsy it increases to 1:100-300 per year
![Page 35: 1 Berkshire West Primary Care Trusts EPILEPSY INTRODUCTION TRAINING PROGRAMME Berkshire West Primary Care Trusts is a collaboration between Newbury and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9cf61/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

SUDEP RISK FACTORS
• young adults• generalised tonic-clonic seizures• poor seizure control• unwitnessed seizures• abrupt and frequent changes in medication• non-compliance• alcohol• people with epilepsy whose seizures are not
recorded in medical notes• Seizures during sleep
