Brief loss of consciousness, which doctors say is absence epilepsy20

Nowadays, there are many ways to epilepsy, once you have epilepsy, you need to see a doctor in time, choose a method that is most suitable for your condition and has good efficacy, which is the most important thing for patients. With current technology, epilepsy is possible, so patients should not worry too much.

Epilepsy should start from the mechanism of seizures, common epilepsy methods include drugs, surgery, etc. Medications can control seizures by reducing brain excitability, but medications** generally require long-term medication and are also larger***. And not all people with epilepsy are candidates for surgery**.

Seizures are caused by abnormal firing of neurons, and seizures can only be avoided if the damaged neuronal cells are repaired.

Clinical features include a brief loss of consciousness that begins abruptly and ends abruptly, interruption of ongoing activities during the seizure, binocular gaze, brief upward turning of the eyeballs, such as sudden immobility while walking, abrupt cessation or slowing down of speech, and abrupt disappearance of food after a few seconds of eating. Seizures may often be accompanied by mild clonus, atonic loss, rigidity, or automatism, or may manifest as a simple impairment of consciousness. You can go to Guangzhou to have a look.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) was confirmed.

【Clinical manifestations】Absence is a non-convulsive seizure, which is clinically manifested as sudden impairment of consciousness, ongoing voluntary activities and cessation of speech, blank staring of both eyes, sluggish expression, and generally does not fall. The seizure lasts for a few seconds to tens of seconds, and then it suddenly recovers, continuing the movements that were carried out before the seizure. There is no postictal impairment of consciousness.

People are often unaware that they have experienced a seizure or only feel a blank space in their mind. Seizures occur in an awake state. Most of the typical absence seizures are frequent, ranging from several to dozens or even hundreds of times a day.

Some transient episodes have only transient mild cognitive impairment that requires very close observation or the use of special psychological tests. EEG monitoring showed that the emission of a fully conductive 3Hz spike and slow wave lasted for more than 3 seconds, which could cause absence seizures. Absence seizures can occur spontaneously or be triggered by certain factors, which tend to be constant in the same patient.

Possible predisposing factors include emotional factors, lack of attention, lack of intellectual activity, decreased levels of arousal, drowsiness, the process of waking from sleep, hypoglycemia, or other metabolic abnormalities. Seizures generally do not occur when the child is intellectually active, awake, and attentive. Hyperventilation is very sensitive and effective in inducing absence seizures, and if the child can complete a sufficient depth of hyperventilation, it can generally induce typical EEG and clinical seizures.

Unqualified seizures that cannot be provoked by hyperventilation should call into question the diagnosis of typical absence seizures.

Based on video EEG analysis of a large number of absence seizures, typical absence seizures are divided into 6 subtypes, and more than one subtype can occur in the same seizure in the same patient. On the one hand, further classification enriches the detailed understanding of the symptomatology of absence seizures and helps in differential diagnosis, and on the other hand, the pathogenesis, response to ** and prognosis of different subtypes may be different. With the development of diagnostic monitoring technology, there may be new understanding of this in the future.

Hello, the manifestations of different types of epilepsy are also different, the common grand mal seizures are generally manifested as: sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, tilting the head, eyes upturning, foaming at the mouth, bluish complexion, clenching teeth or tongue, some accompanied by incontinence, can not recall the onset process after the seizure, and the whole body is painful and weak. Petit mal seizures are characterized by a brief loss of consciousness, an abrupt interruption of speech activity, a holding in the hand that falls to the ground, eyes looking directly or staring, and continuing the same activity after the seizure.

Localized seizures of epilepsy present as local or one limb twitch that can extend throughout the body if the abnormal discharge of the brain expands.

Psychomotor seizures: (also known as complex partial seizures), which can manifest as sudden, confused, and irregular and uncoordinated movements (eg, sucking, chewing, seeking, shouting, running, struggling, etc.). The patient's actions are unmotivated, aimless, blind, and impulsive, and the seizures last for hours, sometimes for days.

The patient has no memory of the seizure. At present, there are many medical institutions for epilepsy, but patients must go to a professional and regular hospital for epilepsy, and they cannot go to the doctor indiscriminately.

I have been suffering from this disease for 5 years and have basically understood it. The reason why the human body is active is because the nervous system of the brain sends signals to various parts of the body. During an attack, the brain signals are disorganized, when the person's own consciousness contradicts the signals of the brain confusion and a sound is remembered in the brain.

If you can suppress it, you can move it with difficulty. When the whole will is suppressed, it will not be able to move, because there is no time to think about it. If you can't suppress it, there will be a temporary loss of consciousness, at this time, the person's 5 senses will be completely closed, there will be no feeling, the brain is also in a short state of rest, there will be no thinking, for the patient is just a blink of an eye, in fact, a few hours have passed.

Even if it is controlled during each seizure, it will cause great damage to the nervous system, and in the long run, you will gradually not be able to walk, you will not be able to speak well, and you will not be able to eat in severe cases.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease characterized by sudden, recurrent and transient disorders of movement, sensation, consciousness, behavior, psychiatry, autonomic and other aspects caused by excessive firing of neurons in the brain caused by a variety of causes. The clinical manifestations are as follows:

1. Grand mal seizure.

2. Petit mal seizures.

3. Psychomotor seizures.

4. Localized seizures.

Large-mal seizures are common, and there are many auraes for grand mal seizures: such as limb weakness, numbness, dizziness and paresthesia, etc., sudden coma, falls, throat spasm, abnormal screaming, respiratory pause, muscle tonic spasms of the whole body, cyanosis of the complexion, dilated pupils, head and eyes turned to one side, trismus (even biting the tongue), foaming at the mouth, incontinence, which lasts a few minutes to more than ten minutes and then turns into clonus, and after a few minutes the convulsions stop aging, enter a comatose state, and gradually wake up for about half an hour to several hours; Petit mal seizures are manifested as temporary disturbance of consciousness, no generalized convulsions, more common in children, and adolescents, rhythmic momentary bowing of the head, eyes straight up to the eyes, trunk bending forward, arms stretched outward for about tens of seconds, consciousness can be restored, infants and young children have seizures that stop in a few seconds, but often multiple seizures a day; Psychomotor seizures are more common in adults, with sudden confusion, sudden standing and wandering at work or in sleep, which can last for minutes to hours, and are completely unaware after the seizure, and may also manifest as various delusions and emotional abnormalities; Localized seizures, manifested as spasmodic convulsions of one limb, without disturbance of consciousness or sudden abnormal sensation or loss of sensation in one limb, the former is called localized epilepsy, and the latter is called localized ** sensory seizures, sometimes localized lesions can spread to the opposite side, and if not timely**, it can develop into grand mal seizures. There are also atypical symptoms, such as headache, abdominal and limb pain epilepsy, and in severe cases, the above symptoms can also appear.

The main manifestations of absence seizures in epilepsy are: sudden interruption of mental activity, loss of consciousness, may be accompanied by myoclonus or automatism, and a seizure of a few seconds to more than ten seconds.

EEG showed 3 seconds of spikes or sharp slow wave synthesis.

The diagnosis of epilepsy is based on the patient's clinical presentation and laboratory findings.

Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain, which can interfere with brain waves and form pathological electroencephalograms. Brain imaging may also show electrical discharges.

If there are symptoms similar to epilepsy, it is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital for relevant examinations in time for differential diagnosis.

If you don't move over there, you will drop things when you take them.

The vast majority of seizures in patients with epilepsy are accompanied by loss of consciousness. However, some types of epilepsy, such as localized seizures, myoclonus epilepsy, etc., are conscious when the patient has a seizure. Therefore, the diagnosis of epilepsy should not be denied because the patient is not conscious**. /span

With the rapid development of science and technology, the level of medical care in China is also constantly improving, epilepsy is no longer an incurable disease, as long as patients find the right way and accept it in time, it is still possible. /span
