Absence seizure

experience their first seizure between the ages of five and twenty years old, though, in fact, a seizure can happen at any age. Many neurologists and neuroscientists are of the opinion that each person's brain has a threshold above which a fit will be triggered; for people who have epilepsy that threshold can be very low. Epileptic individuals can experience many seizures which cause changes in behaviour, consciousness and attention. This "threshold" may be lowered because of conditions such as dementia, stroke or metabolic disease particularly in infancy. Trauma to the head resulting in brain injury can…

In partial seizure, patient experience a range of bizarre or strange sensations including abrupt jerky movements of one body parts, alterations in hearing or seeing, discomfort in stomach or a sudden sense of fear.

An epileptic seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain and is caused by an abnormal and excessive electrical discharge of a group of neurons within the brain. “Epilepsy is the condition of recurrent spontaneous seizures arising from abnormal electrical activity in the brain.” (Stafstorm & Rho 2014) Anyone can experience a seizure under the right conditions while epilepsy suggests an enduring variation of brain function that facilitates seizure reoccurrence. At a basic level…

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder known to be reoccurring seizures that can last from a few seconds to several minutes. It is thought to affect approximately 275000 people throughout Australia and 2/3 of people do not know the cause of this. There are many causes such as brain tumours or infections like meningitis that can cause an epileptic fit. In some people there is no specific cause. When people have epileptic fits they are able to live relatively normal lives.…

The neurological disorder known as Epilepsy is defined as “a disease characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition.” Essentially this means that a seizure is noted as a single event and that epilepsy is the disorder involving recurrent unprovoked seizures. In addition, seizures are symptoms of abnormal brain function. However, the medical terminology for Epilepsy…

Epilepsy Disease is a brain disorder. Clusters of nerve cells in the brain signal abnormally. The normal pattern of neuronal activity is disturbed. It causes strange sensations, emotions, and behavior. Sometimes it causes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. Epilepsy is not contagious or caused by a mental illness or mental retardation. It cannot be cured, but can eventually go away on its own in some people. It may develop because of an abnormality in the brain wiring, an…
