Common Questions and Answers about What is a seizure in medical terms
seizure
A significant change in the usual seizure pattern like in terms of seizure type, seizure length, or associated symptoms needs immediate medical attention. A changing pattern of seizures may indicate ineffective control of seizures or ineffectivity of the anticonvulsants. It is best to consult your neurologist about it and get the appropriate treatment. Hope it helps.
Best wishes!
Respectfully, you are confusing medical terms, including the requirement for the diagnosis of epilepsy, which is irrelevant. Your symptoms are typical of what is cdalled a petit mal seizure. Such siezures can be induced in a helicopter pilot (without a diagnosis of epilepsy) by the flickering of the sun through the helicopter blades. People have various genetic make-ups and some are more mprone to this than others.
It is abundantly clear that in some cases concussions may result in seizures. That is not a "theory". It is a medical fact. It doesn't require "discussion". But not all concussions result in a seizure. There can be varying degrees of damage depending on the severity off the blow, where the impact takes place, and from resultant swelling, and if there is a delay in seeking medical attention. A "concussion" is not a "concussion".
Hi my dear doctors
My own brother 26 years old software employee who is suffering with viral
fever suddenly got a very major seizure attact and got admitted in hospital on May 10 2019.
There the neurologists prescribed to go through different kinds of scans and blood,urine, serum and even lumbar puncture but all the reports are negative.
Babygirl should seek medical attention. This sounds more like a Tia "mini stroke" than a seisure, but only medical experts can really tell. It's best to have it checked out.
These are my results after being in the hospital having a cat-scan what does this mean..The second cranial nerve is normal. Visual acuity is good.Visual fields are full to confrontation. The third, fourth, and sixth, cranial nerves show normal extraocular muscles. The fifth cranial nerve shows normal facial sensation and motor function. The seventh cranial nerve shows normal motor function. The eighth shows normal auditory acuity.
t think people are answering the question of what is term because they think everyone reading the answer is in the U.S. It is much more likely that most posters don't know that there would be any difference in what any doctor the world over thinks about what is term. In other words, there might be some assuming going on, but it's more likely to be assuming that all doctors everywhere think alike than it is assuming that all posters are in the United States.
You made the right move by scheduling an appointment with the pediatric neurologist. I didn't watch the video, but by reading your description, what I can say is that often seizures or other conditions can be shown differently in children so young, and 6 months would be around the age you might start to notice something abnormal.
About 3 weeks ago, she had what I would observe as a seizure. She was in the kitch and colapsed, by the time I ran in there, she was sitting up, but disoriented and then appeared to have a seizure. She went to the doctor and they did a CT scan and blood work which came back normal. She has also been to an optometrist and that just resulted in more pain from trying to read the letter on the chart.
My son who is 23 yr.old has had a seizure, he had something like small episodes, but was told he had migraines, silent migraines etc. Well now he has had the worst seizure of all, and he doesn't have a job, no insurance, can't get help anywhere. please can you tell me what can be done. he is on dilantin, 100mg, 4 times a day. I am afraid of what might happen to him, I don't know what needs to be done.
Preictal and ictal headaches are generally of short duration. Rarely a headache may be a sign of an impending seizure. It is then considered pre-ictal and is a type of aura. They are generally brief and throbbing, steady, or sharp. The post-ictal headache is more generalized and can be steady or throbbing, lasting anywhere from few hours to even longer. Patients with epilepsy also have a higher chance of having migraine and cluster headaches.
Fortunately for 12 years my brother has no attacks, but every spring when the pollen season,i feel a change in him ... there is a frequent and stronger muscle movements during sleep (especially in REM phase)."
No one so far could with certainty respond to this question.
But I am convinced that there is a connection between these two problems.
I will continue to look for an answer, although I have no medical education and if I find something I will gladly forward you.
NOT PUTTING THIS LIGHTLY, THAT DOCTOR NEEDS A SWIFT KICK IN HER A$$. NOW TO DISCUSS YOUR PROBLEMS, WHY ARE YOU STILL GOING TO SUCH A RUDE,INCONSIDERATE, CONDESCENDING PHYSICIAN? FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! GET REFERENCES FROM FRIENDS OR LOOK UP PHYSICIANS ON LINE AND READ OTHER PATIENTS'S REVIEWS ON HOW GOOD OR BAD THEY ARE. WRITE THE ONES THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOWN, WITH PHONE NUMBER SO YOU CAN CALL AND SEE IF THEY ACCEPT YOUR INSURANCE. NOW NO MORE WASTING TIME ON THE OLD DR.
however if the seizures are coming on one after another this is a very serious matter and could harm his brain as well as cause death.this is called seizure epiliptecus which is in itself a true medical emergency.
