neural 3; CVA and seizure Flashcards
status epilepticus
seizures follow one another with no recovery of consc
unprovoked seizures =
primary
warning stroke
within 24 hours patient is fully recovered
TIA
TIA
warning stroke
within 24 hours patient is fully recovered
aneurysmal subarchnoid
blood goes into interstitial space, wasting o2
MRI scan needed to see if its by thrombosis or rupture
often fatal
hemorrhagic stroke
petit mal seizures =
absence seizures
begin in one hemi
spread to other hemi
secondarily generalized seizures
TIA =
transient ischemic attack
cardiogenic embolic ischemic stroke
clot began in heart
clot moves after tx
heart procedures increase this risk
transient means
comes and goes
transient ischemic attack =
TIA
atonic seizures
sudden loss of muscle strength
generalized seizure
both hemi are involved
loss of consc
secondary seizures =
provoked
absence seizures
disturbances in consc
seems like daydreaming
no muscle movement
myoclonic seizure
sudden muscle jerking
provoked seizures =
secondary
80% of all strokes
clot blocks vessel in brain
ischemic stroke
