Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
A seizure (from the latin sacire’ “to take possession of”) is a paroxysmal event due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Depending on the distribution of electrical discharges’ this abnormal brain activity to experiential phenomena not readily discernible by an observer. Although a variety of factors influence the incidence and prevalence of seizures-5-10% of the population will have at least one seizure, with the highest incidence occurring in early childhood and late adulthood.1,2 To study different type of seizures and its clinical profile. To study etiology of seizures in various age group in adults. To study neuroimaging and EEG in diagnosis of seizure disorders. To study treatment outcome in different type of seizures. The first steps in the management of a patients in GCSE are to attend to any acute cardiorespiratory problems or hyperthermia, perform a brief medial and neurologic examination, establish venous access, and send samples for laboratory studies to identify metabolic abnormalities. Anticonvulsant therapy should then begin without delay.
