It doesn't automatically mean that, but it's possible that you have an AVM. AVMs and aneurysms are fairly similar looking, both being malformations. Though not all malformations of the brain become symptomatic, and the discovery of one does not necessarily demand treatment. It really depends on the risk of hemorrhage to determine if and what treatment should be used. There are a number of options for treatment, if needed, so talk to your doctor about those.
This time the doctor has put her on Kepra. Again her tests came back clear. What does this mean? Does she have epilepsy? Are there other test she should get to make sure it's not something else causing the problems? And will she have to be on medication for the rest of her life? She's made an appointment with the neurologist from her first seizure, but he can't see her until January. Any thoughts or advice? Nothing in general in her life has changed, other than she just got a dog.
Try magnesium. Calcium contracts and magnesium relaxes the muscles. Magnesium levels are lowest at night. Look for "ate" for types of magnesium. Eg: citrate, glycinate, taurate, chelate. Magnesium oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed.
i take it you dont mean they were written on a prescription but a blood request form? as i believe they are types of blood test screen. CBC is complete blood count, BMP i think is basic metaobolic panel, i think VAP is something to do with cholesterol? and PSA is testing for an antigen (protein). not sure about the numbers.
Infections and fever can make an otherwise healthy individual more prone to have a seizure. a single episode of seizure cannot be marked as epilepsy. An EEG to ensure that there are no structural abnormalities in brain. Normal EEG and MRI brain are encouraging though this does not rule out a future episode. You need to consult a physician for investigating any underlying infectious condition, high or low blood sugar, injury, electrolyte imbalance, drug withdrawal syndrome etc.
My sister is having seizure like attacks, her whole upper body tenses and disfigures in painful stiffness, the last one reached her legs and feet, while the attack was in progress she also felt cold trickles down her cheeks. These seizures like attacks last an hour or more and she does not lose conscientious and can comprehend all that is happening to her. Neurosurgeon found a small tumor, 7mm between the brain lining and skull bone and assures her that this is not causing the attacks.
I'm still not sure where your new spot is from your prior post ( it's helpful if you keep all your posts together btw- just keep adding to your prior post ).
For instance - say you usually have your genital herpes lesions on your right labial area and then you get a lesion on your left buttock area this time. Did it mean that you "spread" the virus to a new area? Does it mean that you were infected with a different strain of herpes?
Hi. I am having a baby via donor eggs. My blood type is O positive; so is my husband's. But the donor's is O negative. Does this mean that the baby would need some type of treatment at birth or during the pregnancy? Thank you.
The timing and circumstances make a partial complex the most likely of the seizure types. Loss of consciousness without loss of body control or falling. The description of how he was after the event sounds "post-ictal" or "after-seizure." These often occur in the temporal lobe.
An aggressive attempt to find out the cause of this is mandatory!
That may be some form of a minor seizure as well (there are multiple classes of seizures of course) as a person does not have to lose consciousness during a seizures. A person can have different types of seizures, not just the specific ones they were diagnosed with. Best to speak to a neurologist and they could do tests such as EEG's to see what is happening during those staring spells to see if its some form of seizure and then decide from there how to treat it.
If he has refractory epilepsy, he could talk to his doctor about a possible surgical workup, see if he is a candidate for surgery....there are different procedures for different seizure types, locations of seizures, etc. etc. Unfortunatley, not everyone is a candidate, but you have nothing to lose by asking.
ve seen him do this while sitting. He does not cry afterwards or do anything with his eyes. In fact after he does this he seems to continue to play normally. I'm very worried and I will be making an appointment with a pediatric neurologist but in the mean time I'm hoping anyone has any insight as to what this can be. He's is developing normally and is on track with all of his milestones.
Here's a video of him

I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
