Procursive Epilepsy

**Epilepsia** is a neurological disease characterized by a person's predisposition to epileptic seizures (derived from the Latin word epilepticus). Epilepsy has been known since at least the 3rd century. BC e. Aristotle and Pliny mentioned it, pointing out that it is a “characteristic”, a “congenital anomaly”. The famous Greek physician Galen called this condition kalocagious, considering it a consequence of a disorder of brain activity. Epilepsy is characterized by the occurrence of seizures without any external cause.

Etiology. Epipsy has never occurred in a healthy person; it is associated with certain genetic factors: it occurs when one of the pairs of genes (usually two alleles) predominates over the other and forms a predisposition to its development. Various factors can provoke the manifestation of the disease: traumatic brain injury, encephalitis, alcoholism, diffuse brain damage. In addition, epilepsy can be a complication of meningitis, hemi- and myelitis. In these cases, even a slight stimulation of the cerebral cortex is sufficient to cause an epileptic seizure. Neoplasms can cause an outbreak of paroxysm according to the “connected wire” principle, if in the vicinity of hypertensive nodes (“anchor” pathology) there are areas of increased convulsive readiness. For example, in the temporal lobe, where they are associated with twilight disorder of consciousness. This is also indicated by the fact that the largest number of seizures occurs at night, i.e.

Epilepsy Procursura is a type of convulsive epileptic attack, which is accompanied by the patient’s flight from the source of the attack in the form of individual movements or running away towards danger.

The attack is more common in children and manifests itself as running or giggling after attacks in which the gaze twitches (for example, choreoathetosis) - 31.7%.

A procursive seizure is an attack of mental epilepsy and can occur in both adults and children. In some cases, patients are able to leave the scene of an attack on their own.

Seizures often present as nonspecific pseudosensory symptoms such as phosphenes and bulging pupils are common. Procursive seizures usually end in short sleep, with a happy facial expression and are often present.
