Epileptogenic

Epileptogenic is a term that refers to the ability to cause epileptic seizures.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures. Seizures occur due to excessive electrical activity in the brain.

An epileptogenic factor or substance is something that can initiate epileptic activity in the brain of a healthy person or enhance such activity in a person with epilepsy.

Epileptogenic factors include:

1. Brain damage (trauma, stroke, tumor)

2. Infections (meningitis, encephalitis)

3. Metabolic disorders (hypoglycemia, hyponatremia)

4. Withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs

5. Stress, lack of sleep

6. Hormonal changes

7. Photostimulation (flickering light)

8. Certain medications and drugs

Identification and elimination of epileptogenic factors is important for the prevention and treatment of epilepsy.

Epileptogenic property in biology and medicine is the ability to induce paroxysmal tonic-clonic seizures when such substances are introduced into biological systems. Synonyms: seizure, epilepto- or epileptangogenic. An effect that is associated with a decrease in the critical flicker frequency

To date, epilepsy is one of the most pressing problems in neurology. Currently, a number of factors are involved in establishing its exact causes. There are general and local mechanisms for the development of this disease, but at the moment the central aspects of its pathogenesis are not well known. Epilepsy can be caused not only by local factors such as trauma, cerebral edema or circulatory and metabolic disorders, but also be a consequence of primary forms of cerebral damage such as tumor, aneurysm and malformation. The study of these aspects will be of practical importance for more effective treatment of patients with this pathology.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by the occurrence of seizures or a state of amnesia, triggered by any external causes, including mood, illness, injury, or the use of alcohol and medications. The term “epileptic” means the ability to cause epilepsy in humans. Although diagnosing epileptic disorders allows for the creation of individual treatment regimens, they are most often based on multiple strategies, such as establishing a general regimen and taking medications depending on symptoms. Although epilepsy is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect the quality of life and well-being of patients. For this reason, it is important to make every effort to assess the possibility of overcoming it.

Epileptification is a special constitutional and hereditary tendency to develop high-threshold seizures in a certain group of people with extraordinary personality traits that make them vulnerable to sudden discharges in the brain. Although the concept of epileptogenicity is ambiguous
