Seizure Epileptic Continuous

An epileptic seizure is a serious medical condition that can be fatal. This is perhaps the strangest consequence of a disease such as epilepsy, in which a continuously recurring 24-hour epileptic attack may occur. It would seem that he is one and the same. But for the patient it is not limited to a few minutes, but resembles some kind of endless process and lasts for 24 hours. The frequency of seizures is almost instantaneous, and the patient's condition gradually worsens and requires immediate medical attention. The condition of a seizure is characterized precisely by a disruption in the functioning of the nerve centers of the brain. Essentially, this is a “failure” in the intracranial neurocirculation system, which affects a person’s consciousness and motor functions.

Epilepsy is one of the most common brain diseases in which seizures occur. People suffering from epilepsy often do not know their illnesses and continue to live “as if nothing had happened.” But at any moment they can have an attack, which often leads to death. The attacks can be short-lived, or they can last for hours, in which case the person needs medical care in a hospital. Every 6 minutes, one person around the world suffers from epilepsy! In addition to this disease, there is also Eygolfson’s disease, when the patient, during an exacerbation of his condition, periodically loses consciousness for a short time and then comes to his senses. This form of the disease is different, not as life-threatening, most often does not lead to death, and can occur at any age. A seizure is a consequence of a disruption in the functioning of the central nervous system for any reason, leading to difficulty in conducting nerve impulses. Scientists have identified various mechanisms that become prerequisites for the occurrence of seizures. The causes of development may be: lack of oxygen, chronic hypertension, head injury, pneumonia, deterioration of cardiac activity and a number of other diseases. Unlike normal absence epilepsy, absence epilepsy occurs either suddenly (explosive type) or slowly (stationary type). The absence type develops so slowly that it is not perceived by a person as an isolated phenomenon, and the patient forgets about the very beginning of the attack (this forgetfulness is followed by a loss of memory).
