Epilepsy Subcortical

Epileptic syndromes of different etiologies have a wide variety of clinical manifestations. But if extradural or hippocampal syndrome, in fact, represents the results of already existing metabolic disorders or dysfunctions of one or another part of the brain, then intracranial forms of epileptic conditions are characterized by dynamics. The latter is reflected in the fact that a number of symptom-criteria for different forms of epilepsy can be present in isolation or in combinations, gradually acquiring the character of another epileptic attack. For a number of these syndromes of intracranial localization, for example, tamamillary, subcortical epilepsy, autonomic dysfunction, generalization seizures may be absent, and individual criteria, often repeated, are combined with each other.

The question arises, which form of epileptic activity is most favorable from the point of view of predicting its further development and course?

On the one hand, the severe, generalized form of epilepsy without seizures, which is supported by intrauterine pathology or severe metabolic disorders, has a worse prognosis compared to forms of epilepsy, which usually include partial seizures. With another



Epilepsy (Greek epilepsia - grasping, dizziness; from e- + lepsis - grasping) is a chronic brain disease of unknown etiology (the cause of the disease is unknown), characterized by repeated attacks of seizures as a result of excessive and/or spontaneous excitation of neurons.

Diagnosis Epilepsy is a term that unites numerous diseases, the different manifestations of which depend on the variant of a specific nosological form. The diagnosis of epilepsy can be made by a doctor after analyzing all the information and, often, repeated attacks of the disease. The doctor makes a diagnosis when the following symptoms occur:

short-term convulsive seizures - tonic-clonic; complexes of epileptic paroxysms; convulsive syndrome with seizures; atypical seizures; others. The classification of the disease was developed by Caplon and Zadok in 1977. It includes 7 groups:

1 gr. characterized by the development of verbal and motor paroxysms that occur when falling asleep and waking up; Group 2: manifested by the appearance of paresis, paralysis, status epilepticus and mental disorders in people of different ages. Occurs infrequently – 4.5% of cases; 3 gr. occurs even less frequently - manifests itself as convulsions with paroxysms



Epilepsy is a serious neurological disease that is characterized by repeated attacks of seizures. Epilepsy affects people of all ages and nationalities, especially men. This disease can be found in all segments of the population, regardless of education level and income.

One of the common forms of epilepsy is subcortical
