Seizures and Epilepsies
Definition
• neurological deficits (positive or negative) caused by abnormal neuronal discharges in the hemisphere or brain stem
• seizure, epileptic seizure
• epilepsy (chronic, recurrent seizures)

Classification
• Partial: epileptic activity confined to one hemisphere
• Generalized: epileptic activity originated from both hemispheres
• Unclassifiable

Partial seizure
• Epileptic focus confined to unilateral hemisphere
• Simple = normal consciousness (wakefulness and awareness)
• Complex, involved frontal, temporal or limbic system = impaired awareness (normal wakefulness)

Simple Partial ~
• With motor signs: jerks of body parts• With somatosensory or special sense sympt
oms: touch, numbness, etc.– somatosensory, visual, auditory, olfactory, gust
atory, vertiginous ~• With autonomic s/s:– palpitation, nausea, vomiting
• With psychic s/s: – rage, aggression

Generalized seizures

Clinical Diagnosis
Seizure history• aura: somatosensory, visual, olfactory• clinical seizure: details of description• postical period: confusion• precipitating factor: sleep deprivation, alcohol, fe
ver, overwork, work stress, psychological stress• frequency: per month, per year• age of onset: childhood, adult, elderly• progression of symptoms: improved or worsened• AED: what, dose, side effects

Clinical Diagnosis
• Past medical history
• Family history
• Psychosocial history

Physical Examination
• General examination
• Neurological examination
![Page 18: 1 Law of Projection Labeled line. 2 3 Seizures and Epilepsies Definition neurological deficits (positive or negative) caused by abnormal neuronal discharges.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649dea5503460f94ae5d2d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Observation of Seizures
• When necessary, observation may be the only way to diagnosis.
![Page 19: 1 Law of Projection Labeled line. 2 3 Seizures and Epilepsies Definition neurological deficits (positive or negative) caused by abnormal neuronal discharges.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649dea5503460f94ae5d2d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Lab Examination
• Routine lab: relevant investigations
• EEG: negative interictal EEG does not exclude seizure/epilepsy. Positive EEG is diagnostic only with related clinical S/S.
• CT or other imaging: indicated only when focal pathology is suspected.

Differential Diagnosis
• Syncope: generalized weakness of muscles with loss of muscle tone, inability to stand upright, and a loss of consciousness due to reduced of oxygenation by any cause.
• Fainting (presyncope)
• Hypoglycemia

Management
• Precipitating factors– sleep deprivation, alcohol, overwork, stress, fev
er
• Pharmacological treatment– phenobarbital gr I: 1-3 tab oral OD, hs– phenytoin 100 mg: 1 cap tid pc– carbamazepine 200 mg: 1 tab tid pc– valproate 200 mg: 1 tab tid pc
