Common Questions and Answers about Seizure in brain
seizure
I have random tingling almost pleasurable warm sensations in the right side of my head throughout the day. Sometimes they are coupled with a sense of euphoric dejavu. I also have daily unexplained visual disturbances ( purple spots flashes etc) which I have seen ophthalmologists for, and they say my eyes are healthy.
My question is ( I read this could be a seizure symptom) does one need to convulse in order to have a seizure? Does this sound like seizures?

The most common cysts found in the brain are arachnoid, colloid, dermoid, epidermoid, and pineal cysts. Treatment for an arachnoid cyst may be “watchful waiting,” or it may be surgery. If the cyst is small and is not causing problems, just leave it as it is. It is important to keep your appointments for follow-up scans on a regular basis, as these cysts may slowly continue to enlarge.

He mentioned to me that missed 1 dosage of his seizure medication during the last 2 episodes. He is in the military and his physician at the base noticed that his vision has decreased from 20/20. Both his parents do not wear glasses. Could stress create a seizure? If the MRI and EEG are normal, what should we do next? Could the decrease in vision be a symptom from a possible tumor?
change in alertness, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, headache, loss of coordination or balance, difficulty moving any body part, seizure, vision and sensation changes. Surgery is done to repair or remove structures causing the bleed. How well a patient does depends on the size of the hematoma and the amount of swelling. There may be a complete recovery, or some permanent loss of brain function. Talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and best regards.
So after seeking 3 opinions from neurosurgeons, it looks like the consensus is that we should have my husband's 3 benign meningiomas treated with surgery removal. This is b/c of his young age (31) and the fact he's symptomatic (seizure and headaches). He doesn't fit into the typical mold - gender, age, amount of tumors and no family history. The biggest risk of surgery is that he may lose his sense of smell/taste.
Continued seizures can lead to scarring of normal brain tissue and permanent memory problems, and the formation of new seizure focuses in the areas surrounding the tumor, i.e. a worsening of the seizures. At that point, if you go in and only have the tumor removed, chances are his seizures will not be controlled. That is what happened to me: I had a brain tumor, which was misdiagnosed for years as a lesion.
I am 14 years old and have passed out in the shower one time before, but i could still hear things, my vision just got very blurry. This time i was in the shower in the morning and i began to become very dizzy, and normally when this happens i just put my hands on the walls and close my eyes. Once i did this next thing i knew i woke up sitting on my shower floor with my hair tangled on my shower knob, holding my head up.
I have read several posts about phenobarbital in relation to seizures in dogs. My old fella, Oliver is a mixed breed collie who is 16 1/2 years old who to this date has been healthy. On Sunday night he had a full blown seizure (which I have never seen before) that lasted at least 2 minutes. We took him into the emergency vets and they confirmed he was still seizing when we got there. He stayed overnight, did not have another seizure and is now on pheno (60mg) and prednisone (short term).
My grandson just turned 1 back in Dec. His parents and both sets of grandparents have noticed that several times a day he will just stop what he is doing and his eyes will roll up. This will not last for more than maybe 5-10 seconds. No other symptoms. He has been doing this since he was about 10 months old. Could this be a seizure and should we take him to his doctor?
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.
Thanks for your answer.
My Granddaughter had the seizure. I wasn't there,but my son and daughter-in-law were with her. She hasn't had an injury.She does have low blood sugar.I read on this sight that this can cause seizures.We will have the other things you mentioned checked out.
Thanks again.
I was put on it after having one (believed to be generalized focal seizure??) after a brain aneurysm. To be honest, I chose to take my chances off this medication as I was finding it was making me feel really depressed. Discuss it with yr GP and see if theres any alternative? Or maybe u need the dosage adjusting?
These may include conditions such as the following abnormalities in the blood vessels of the brain, atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries supplying the brain, bleeding into the brain, such as a subarachnoid hemorrhage , brain tumors, chromosomal
abnormalities, congenital diseases or conditions, high blood pressure, pregnancy and problems associated with pregnancy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, which is also called a mini-stroke.
it is very likely that sometime soon, your puppy will roll over into a seizure that does not stop. He will begin to get brain damage at 5 minutes of seizing, and if it continues, he will die. What if you are asleep when this happens? And how long to get to an emg vet? Ask your doctor for an emg dose of anti-seizure med for injection on your pup if he has an uncontrolled seizure. TIME IT when it happens. Do not use the emg dose until the 5 minute mark.
They can occur anywhere within the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) but are most commonly found in the brain. Sometimes, more than one can be found in the same person.
The exact cause of arachnoid cysts is unclear, but the majority are thought to be developmental: occur as a human develops, present since birth. Secondary arachnoid cysts, cysts occurring from a particular reason, are much less common.
Not knowing a seizure happened is very normal. You should probably get him an EEG that would give you the most information. Just understand that we don't know a lot about the brain, so knowing why someone has a seizure isn't something that can be answered. Do not take what I'm saying in place of what a doctor will tell you. I want to stress that I'm not a doctor.
