Common Questions and Answers about Seizure in the brain
seizure
When the term white mater is used in reference to the nervous system, it means the part of the brain which is myelinated. Myelin is a fatty substance normally present in the brain and nerves and helps in proper functioning of the nerves and for proper propogation of nerve impulses.
If your doctor said that she has white hings in the brain, then he probably means that there are some spots of calcification.
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?

seizure in bed while asleep - never had a seizure before - didn't awaken when it occurred. Big bitten tongue.
At age 13 I had two more seizures and thats when doctors put me on Tegretol 200mg. An MRI was taken at age 5 and at age 13, the size of the cyst remained the same. The seizures only occur while I am asleep. As of now the Tegretol has worked but pretty soon I wont have insurance to cover the medicine. Previously like a few weeks ago I took Tegretol 2x day (morning and night). I talked to my neurologist about this and she recommended I have an EEG (which came out to be normal).
Good morning! My sister Maruja was diagnosed to have a scar on the brain caused by an EGG of an SCHISTOSOMIASIS bacteria as per MRI result of the DIVINE WORD HOSPITAL in Tacloban City, Philippines. Maruja is 35 years old, and had a seizure for the first time two months ago. She is now in Hongkong working as a domestic helper to find a living for her family. She is taking anti- seizure medicine 3 times a day so that she could escape from seizure attack.
s not the risk of the seizure itself, but rather when a dog convulses their body temp rises and the longer the seizure or the closer together they are, the greater the risk that the dog will essentially experience heat stroke. In extreme casses (long seizures or clusters with close proximity) organs can fail/be damaged and this is the danger.
In her case their was no "cause". Essentially they consider her to have primary epilepsy.

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?
Symptoms of brain bleed or intracerebral hemorrhage vary depending on the location of the bleed and the amount of brain tissue affected. Symptoms may include: 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.
Sudden difficulty in communicating for a brief period
Repeated movements, oftentimes ones that seem weird or aimless or like they're automatically doing it are common indications that someone is having a seizure
The mouth doing strange things is extremely common in seizures. Stuff like smacking or clicking or other sounds, chewing or biting or licking. Weird eye stuff is common too. Like rhythmic blinking or eye movements.
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.
My 10 year old grandaughter had her first grand mal seizure a month ago. She had an MRI which showed her brain was "peppered" with plaque lesions in the white matter. She was put on anti seizure medication. She was referred to a neurology specialist at childrens hospital for more tests. Two weeks later she had another grand mal seizure which occurred even with medication. Her dosage was trippled. A second MRI done 2 weeks after the first showed the lesions have grown.
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.
Mephedrone is an amphetamine-like drug, and like other stimulants, can lead to a variety of symptoms including dizzines, headaches, and in severe cases even seizures, stroke or bleeding in the brain, vasopasm (abnormal constriction of the blood vessels in the brain) and vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain). The majority of these adverse effects occur at higher doses and with sustained use, but can occur even with small doses.
