Seizure Epileptic Subcortical

Seizure of epileptic subcorticalis

Seizure epilepsy is the most common cause of epileptoid (convulsive) seizures. In most cases, this condition is a short-term muscle contraction that occurs within a few seconds or minutes.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, which is characterized by repeated episodes of seizures and seizures of varying severity. Subcortical epileptic seizures are a fairly rare type of seizure and can be caused by various reasons, such as head trauma, infection, brain tumor or hormonal imbalance.

Subcortical seizures rarely cause serious injury, but may be accompanied by prolonged loss of consciousness and memory. Therefore, they require immediate medical attention.

An Epileptic Subcortical seizure is a special form of epilepsy, the main symptom of which is loss of consciousness. It is associated with damage to the part of the brain responsible for the automatic regulation of the body. The patient may not remember his illness at all until the condition recurs.

Pathology of the brain and malfunctions in its functioning can manifest itself as a disorder of consciousness of varying degrees - from minor losses to deep coma.

The main symptom of the disease is paroxysmal epilepsy, which is characterized by repeated attacks with loss of consciousness and muscle relaxation like cramps. During an attack, an epileptic person loses control over himself: various actions are possible - laughter or screaming, as well as body convulsions, eye movements, and others. Some of these movements are marked by a preceding aura, during which the convulsive syndrome occurs completely uncontrollably, disappearing after 20 seconds or even less for no apparent reason. After the end of the attack, exhaustion can last 4-6 hours, after which the epilepsy returns to its normal state.

In some cases, the attack ends in deep sleep.

Therefore, you should know the signs that help recognize this pathology. These include: - short-term impairment of consciousness; - various manifestations of hallucinations, vision or thinking; - automatic and uncontrolled behavior (for example, laughter);
