Ictal

Ictal: a case associated with epilepsy Ictal conditions or seizures are one of the clinical forms of epilepsy, manifested by generalized or partial seizures. Unlike secondary focal symptoms (episodes of paroxysmal psychosis, impaired consciousness due to brain tumors, etc.) that continue after injury or an infectious disease, a seizure lasts only a few minutes, and then the person regains consciousness. _Seizures in epilepsy occur spontaneously, but provoked factors increase the likelihood of a seizure. The aura accompanying the attack is more pronounced in focal epilepsy. In this case, the patient himself experiences the strongest sensations during an attack._

In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), epilepsy is coded as category F06, including polyneuropathic syndromes and organic seizures. Their cause is associated with pathological changes in nerve cells and disruption of connections between them.
