- most common in kids
- blank stare, may drop whatever is holding
- may become pale
- may have twitching of eyelids, eyebrowns, head or chewing movements
- attack ends abruptly pt is unaware what has happened
Generalized absense (petite Mal)
- pt has loss of consciousness
- most common in kids
- blank stare, may drop whatever is holding
- may become pale
- may have twitching of eyelids, eyebrowns, head or chewing movements
- attack ends abruptly pt is unaware what has happened
__ seizure
- cessation of ongoing activity
- staring spell, dizziness
- jerking of muscles
- no loss of consciousness
Partial seizure- simple
- cessation of ongoing activity
- staring spell, dizziness
- jerking of muscles
- no loss of consciousness
___ seizure
- trance- like stage w/ confusion
- consciousness is impaired to varying degrees
- may manifest purposeless movements; doesn't remember what happened
Partial - complex seizure
- trance- like stage w/ confusion
- consciousness is impaired to varying degrees
- may manifest purposeless movements; doesn't remember what happened
__ seizure
- epileptic cry
- loss of consciousness is complete and sudden
- musculature contraction (tonic phase)
tonic phase- tension w/ rigity
clonic phase- convulsion pulse follows tonic
- skin color- pale to bluish
- loss of bladder control
- tongue may be bitten
- last 1-3 min
- foam may appear
- pt may be confused when recover falls into deep sleep
- seizure may continue w/o recovery and progress into status epilepticus
Generalize- Tonic Clonic (Grand Mal) Seizure
- epileptic cry
- loss of consciousness is complete and sudden
- musculature contraction (tonic phase)
tonic phase- tension w/ rigity
clonic phase- convulsion pulse follows tonic
- skin color- pale to bluish
- loss of bladder control
- tongue may be bitten
- last 1-3 min
- foam may appear
- pt may be confused when recover falls into deep sleep

Type of treatment for seizures is __ diet
- goal is to induce fat metabolism and maintain ketosis
- has starvation pariod
- food is reintroduced mainly fat and low proteins w/ no carbs
- been shown to be effective
KETOGENIC DIET
- goal is to induce fat metabolism and maintain ketosis
- has starvation pariod
- food is reintroduced mainly fat and low proteins w/ no carbs
- been shown to be effective
___ occurs in 25-50% of persons using phenytoin
- other antiepileptic drugs induce overgrowth less frequent
- antiepileptic drugs are used in treatment in other conditions
- Phenytoin may cause fibroblast and osteoblasts to deposit excessive extracellular matrix
- tissue color is normal w/ lobular shape
- local irritants make response more excessive
- meticulous oral hygiene can reduce occurrence
~ Occurrence: greater in younger pt, enlargement may start in few weeks to years,
anterior max gingiva usually afftected more
GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA
occurs in 25-50% of persons using phenytoin
- appears fibrotic pink, stippled, cauliflower like
- Phenytoin may cause fibroblast and osteoblasts to deposit excessive extracellular matrix
- tissue color is normal w/ lobular shape
- local irritants make response more excessive
- meticulous oral hygiene can reduce occurrence
~ Occurrence: greater in younger pt, enlargement may start in few weeks to years,
