17
Q

neurological disorder characterixed by recurrent seizures

A

epilepsy

18
Q

rhythmic jerking movements

A

convusion

19
Q

Seizures can involve dierent types of muscle activity. What are the two?

A

Clonus refers to rapid, repetitive muscle contractions
Tonus refers to sustained muscle contractions (stiffening)

20
Q

Sensory or perceptual disturbances that some individuals experience before the onset of a seizure

A

auras

21
Q

Two main classes of seizures

A

focal and generalized seizures

22
Q

– seizures may have localized symptoms, such as twitching in a specific
part of the body or alterations in perception.

A

focal

23
Q

seizures typically involve widespread eects, such as loss
of consciousness

A

generalized

24
Q

These seizures typically involve localized symptoms without loss of consciousness. They often manifest as sensory or motor disturbances, such as tingling sensations, muscle twitching, or jerking movements.

A

simple partial (focal seizure)

25
Q

Also known as focal impaired awareness seizures,

these seizures are characterized by alterations in consciousness and complex motor or sensory phenomena.

They commonly arise from the temporal lobes of the brain and may involve motor symptoms such as repetitive movements or automatisms (repetitive, purposeless behaviors).

A

complex partial (focal seizure)

26
Q

tonic-clonic seizure also called (generalized seizure)

A

grand mal seizure

27
Q

absense also called (generalized seizure)

A

petit mal seizure

28
Q

During an – seizure, the individual may appear to stare blankly into space, with a sudden onset and oset of the seizure activity.

A

absence

29
Q

– seizures are often associated with a brief loss of awareness or responsiveness, but they do not typically involve convulsive movements.

A

Absence

30
Q

Treatments for epilepsy

A

Anti-epileptic medication
Vagal nerve stimulation
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
Ketogenic diet
Surgery
