Common Epileptic Syndromes
Flashcards do conjunto (15)
- 1What are the three types of seizure onset?Focal, Generalized, unknown onset
- 2Benign Epilepsy of Childhood with Central Midtemporal Spikes- BECTSunilateral parethesis of tongue, lips, cheek; possible tonic-clonic activity of tongue/lips/cheek; unilateral central or midtemporal sharp waves; rhythmic spike bursts and spike wave discharges during seizure.
- 3Panaylotopoulos syndromeOnset 15 mo-17 years
blindness, scintillating scotomta, visual hallucinations or illusions
interictal spike bursts which may be brought on by eye closure - 4Focal Impaired Temporal Lobeloss of awareness, automatisms, staring, deja vu, emotional or thought disturbances, hallucinations
interictal spike or sharp waves
activated by sleep deprivation - 5Focal Frontal Lobe- what are the four manifestations?Focal aware primary motor cortex (clonic twitching w/o loc), Focal aware or impaired from supplementary motor cortex (head deviation, raising of one arm with extension of other arm), Focal impaired from superior frontal region (unconsciousness followed by generalized tonic-clonic convulsion), Focal impaired from medial frontal or orbital-frontal areas (body rocking, dystonic posturing, repetitive movements, laughing, crying)
- 6What are the EEG patterns of frontal lobe seizures?Interictal discharges and even seizures may be undetected by scalp electrodes, discharges may appear widespread due to deep epileptigenic source
- 7Absence seizureno aura, >30 sec, staring, unresponsive, eye blinking, lip smacking, automatisms
3 Hz generalized spike and wave
induced by HV - 8Generalized Tonic-ClonicLOC, loss of body tone, stiff muscles, uncontrollable jerking/twitching
Rapid spikes followed by spike-waves - 9JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy)high voltage polyspikes followed by slow waves, often occuring during stage 1 sleep, can be triggered by HV or photic
- 10Lennox-Gastautsevere generalized seizures
EEG shows slow spike and wave complexes
more than one type of seizure: tonic, atypical absence
slowed background - 11West Syndrome/Epileptic Spasmsflexor, extensor, or mixed spasms
usually associated with some degree of developmental delay
hypsarrythmia - 12Progressive myoclonic epilepsyMyoclonic epilepsies with ragged red fibers, lafora disease, unverricht-lundborg disease, Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, cherry red spot myoclonus syndrom
characterized by myoclonic seizures, progressive ataxia, and dementia
generalized polyspike wave or spike wave, background progressively slows - 13Describe Lafora Diseasemyoclonic seizures, GTC seizures, occipital seizures, status epilepticus risk, decline in intellectual function
- 14Unverricht-Lunborg DiseaseOnset age 6-15
Myoclonus
LOC, muscle rigidity, tonic clonic, ataxia, intention tremor, dysarthia, - 15Landau-Kleffneronset 3-9 years
Dysphasia, acquired aphasia, 2/3 have seizures
EEG abnormalities change in abundance, location, and pattern, electrographic status epilepticus
