4 dingen waarop epilepsy classifications gebaseerd zijn
- altered consciousness
- involuntary movements
- perceptual and autonomous changes
- behavioural changes
2 ways you can classify epilepsy
A. seizure classification: focus on symptoms
B. epilepsy syndrome classification: seizure symptoms + additional clinical factors
focal/partial
starts in one area
generalised
whole brain
vanaf focal verdeeld in
simple - retains awareness
complex - altered awareness and behaviour
vanaf simple kan hij naar
complex, of secondary generalised
generalised naar…
Absences
Myoclonic seizures
Tonic-clonic seizures
Tonic seizures
Clonic seizures
Atonic seizures
tonic =
sudden tension in muscles, stiffening
clonic =
stiffening and relaxing of muscles alternates repeatedly
atonic=
loss of muscle strength
myoclonic=
muscle twitching, jerking/spasms
3 vragen bij focal
aware or impaired awareness?
motor onset or non motor onset?
progress to bilateral tonic-clonic?
2 vragen bij generalised
motor (tonic-clonic or other)?
non-motor (absences)?
unknown 2 vragen
motor/non motor?
unclassified? dus niet de other categories fitting of insufficient information
aware during seizure means
knowledge of self and environment, consciousness intact
