Epilipsy Flashcards
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
_______________
>= 2 unprovoked seizures within 24 hours apart this is?
Epilipsy
Abnormal excessive neuronal electricaly activity in the brain with suden onset and offset
Transinet recurrent neurological symptoms ?
Epilipetic seizures
symptoms of epilipsy depends on ?
site of origin of the abnormal elctrical activity
if in motor cortex may cause motor seizures and abnormal movements
The most common origin of seizures and abnormal electrical activity is ?
Temporal
Frontal
Epilipsy may be ?
Focal motor in precentral gyrus
somatosensory in post central gyrus
Visaul
Auditory
Autonmoinc with raising epigastirum in insula
Define convulsion
Abnormal involuntary muscle contraction.
Motor seizures
Mention causes of epilipsy
Primary Idiopathic may be genetic

T3I2VF
Secondary :
Trauma
Tumors
Toxins or drugs ICTI
Inuslin - cocaine - TCAs -Ii
Infection:Meningitis - encephalitis
Vascular: Cerebrovascular disorders+ Stroke
Fever in Children called Febrile Convulsions
Types of epilipsy
Patiral simple or complex
Generalized : Absecne -Tonic-clonic -Myoclonic
Mechanism of Epilipsy>
Increased Glutamate Tranismission
Decreased GABA transmission
with increased Na & Ca channels activity for depolarization
Mechanism of antirpliptic drugs
Drugs working on :
1-Neurotranmsitters
Glutamate decreasing its action : Topiramate
GABA increasing its action :
Phenobarbital-Benzodiazepines
____________________
2-Membrane channels ?
Na channels : Carbamzine+Phenytoin
Ca channel :? Ethosuximdie
______________________
Valporate works on ?
Na channels
Ca of T TYPE Post synaptic
with ethoxuisimde
V NMDA of glutamat
Increasing GABA amount with Vigbatrin
Topimerate works on ?
Na channels
T AMPA of glutamate
GABA A receptors with benzo and barbit
Lamotrigine works on ?
Na channel
Ca channels presynaptic with Gabapentin + Pregaballin
Levetiracetem
Vesicular protein Vs2A.
Antiepleiptics working on Na channels are?
Phenytoin
carabamazepine
oxcarabamazeipine
______________________
VTL
Valporate
Topiramate
Lamotrigine
Decrasing repetitive firing of neurons
Vigabatrin working on
GABA-Transmaminase decreasing catabolism
Effective in absence seizure ?
Blokcing T Ca channels decreasing brain ryhtmic activity
Incrasign GAD?
Valporate + Gabapentin
Classification of antiepileptics
Classicial agents :
VCPE Phe benzoفكبي فيه بنزين في الكتاب واحرقه طبعا
Valporate
Carbamazpine
Phenytoin
Ethosuixmidie
Phenobarbiutate
Benzodiazepines

Topiramate
Lamotrigine
Levetiracetam
Pragabaillin-gabapenitn
Mention Broad spectrum antiepeliptics and GR

Valoporate
Mention Broad spectrum antiepeliptics and GR
لا لي فيه لاخفيه ايه رايك في الافيه ؟
La Le V
Lamotrigine
Levetiractam
Valoporate
___________________
due to multiple mechanism of actions in brain transmitters and channels so used in partial and generalized epilipsy
Sodium valporate + valporioc acid =
Divalporex
converted to valporate ion in GIT For improving GIT tolerance Of valporic acid
how to detect epilpist?
EEG
Choices of antieplitptic in types of epipilsy
Valporats firs line in all except in Partial is second line
___________________________
Levetiracetam is second line in all except ? Absence seizure
________________________________
First line of Partial is ?Carbamazpine + Lamotrigine while the second line :
Valporate + Oxcarabamzaine + levetiracetam
___________________________
First line Tonic-clonic ?
Valporate - lamotrigine while second :
Levetiracetam -Carabamzpeine+ox
_____________________________
First line Absnces ::?
Ethousimide + Valporate
Second is :
Lemotrigine
___________________
First line in Myoclonic ?
Valporate
Secondline :
Topiramate +
Levetiracetam
IF patient has Tonic clonic + Absence seizure the preferrd antiepilpetic is ?
Valporate due to multiple meahncims
Contraindicated antiepileptics in absence and myoclonia seizures
CarGaP2
Carbamazepine
Gapapetnite
Pregabalin
Phenytoin
______________
Contr in absence ?
the above 5+ Phenobarbital and Levetiracetam
________________
Cont in myclonic :
the 5 above + Lamotrigine
Due to sedation and tolerance Benzo and phenobarbital are used mainly in ?
Acute fits and status epilipticus
Phenobarbital is used in ?
Tonic clonic & partial
Clonezpam is used as ? in epilipsy
2nd line broad spectrum
Adverse effects of Phenytoin as antiepliptic?
Cosmetic + pharmacokinetic disturbances :Cinteic
=Irregular BA
=Saturation kinetic if serum level increased to a level liver cannot control
=CYP inducer: causing drug interactions
Indications of phenytoin
Contraindications ?
in partial and Tonic-clonic
In Status epilipticus

CI : Absecne + Myoclonic and carbazmaepine also CI
