    2. BFalse
  5. 5Status epilepticus is a medical [blank_start]emergency[blank_end].
    1. Aemergency
  6. 6[blank_start]Generalized[blank_end] – no evidence of localized onset
     [blank_start]Absence[blank_end] – sudden onset, abrupt cessation; 10-45 sec duration; may occur >100 times per day; characterized by a spike and wave pattern on EEG; patient may simply stare (daydream) or show postural changes, autonomic phenomena, automatisms
     [blank_start]Tonic-clonic[blank_end] – tonic rigidity of all extremities, followed by relaxation, then by massive jerking of the body; patient is groggy/disoriented afterwards, urinary incontinence is common, 1-2 min duration
     [blank_start]Tonic[blank_end] – increased tone of all muscles
     [blank_start]Atonic[blank_end] – sudden loss of postural tone
     [blank_start]Myoclonic[blank_end] – muscles spasm and limbs jerk; contractions and relaxations repeat rapidly


    1. AGeneralized
    2. BAbsence
    3. CTonic-clonic
    4. DTonic
    5. EAtonic
    6. FMyoclonic
    7. GSimple
    8. HComplex
    9. ISecondarily generalized
    10. JFocal
  7. 7[blank_start]Focal (partial)[blank_end] – seizure initiates in a specific site
     [blank_start]Secondarily generalized[blank_end] – focal seizure precedes a generalized
    tonic-clonic seizure
     [blank_start]Simple[blank_end] – minimal spread within brain; often clonic jerking, no
    diminished awareness, 20-60 sec duration
     [blank_start]Complex[blank_end] – localized onset but discharge spreads; alteration of
    consciousness (but not unconscious), automatisms (integrated
    motor behavior, e.g. lip smacking, button picking)
    1. AFocal (partial)
    2. BSecondarily generalized
    3. CSimple
    4. DComplex
    5. ETonic-clonic
    6. FAbsence
    7. GTonic
    8. HAtonic
    9. IClonic and myoclonic
  8. 8Classify the following seizures:

     [blank_start]Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure[blank_end]:
    “When it starts, she suddenly shrieks with this unnatural cry, then she falls, and every muscle in her body seems to be
    activated. Her teeth clench. Shortly after she falls, her arms and upper body start to jerk while her legs are more or less still stiff. This is the longest part of the seizure. Then it finally stops and she passes into a deep sleep.”

     [blank_start]Generalized Absence Seizure[blank_end]
    "He is a 7 year old boy. He often “blanks out” for a few seconds. His teacher calls his name, but he doesn’t seem to
    hear her. He usually blinks a few times, and his eyes may roll up a bit. Then he is right back where he left off. Some days he has more than 50 of these spells.”

     [blank_start]Secondary Generalization Focal Seizure[blank_end]
    "They start with a tingling in the right thumb. Then the thumb starts jerking. In a few seconds, the whole right hand is jerking. The jerking spreads up my arm. When it reaches the shoulder, I pass out and people tell me that my whole body starts to jerk.”
    1. ASecondary Generalization Focal Seizure
    2. BGeneralized Absence Seizure
    3. CGeneralized Tonic-Clonic Seizure
    4. DGeneralized Tonic Seizure
    5. EGeneralized Atonic Seizure
    6. FComplex Focal Seizure
    7. GSimple Focal Seizure
  9. 9What are the goals of therapy with anti-epileptics?
    Improve [blank_start]quality of life[blank_end] by:
     Controlling [blank_start]seizures[blank_end]
     Rarely are seizures eliminated; even occasional seizures are still a concern for patients
     Minimizing [blank_start]adverse effects[blank_end]
     Usually lifelong treatment
    1. Aquality of life
    2. Bseizures
