  2. Occipital epilepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_epilepsy

    A seizure occurs when this communication is disrupted, and the brain area receives a burst of abnormal electrical signaling, interrupting the normal function. [9] This causes disturbed messages to be sent to other parts of the brain, in turn causing the symptoms of a seizure and can include changes in behavior, consciousness, movements, or ...

  3. Focal seizure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_seizure

    A simple partial seizure may go unnoticed by others or shrugged off by the patient as merely a "funny turn." Focal aware seizures usually start suddenly and are very brief, typically lasting 60 to 120 seconds. [10] [failed verification] Some common symptoms of a simple partial seizure are: [7] [failed verification] preserved consciousness

  4. Causes of seizures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_seizures

    Breakthrough seizures are more likely with a number of triggers. [54]: 57 Often when a breakthrough seizure occurs in a person whose seizures have always been well controlled, there is a new underlying cause to the seizure. [55] Breakthrough seizures vary. Studies have shown the rates of breakthrough seizures ranging from 11 to 37%. [56]

  5. Atonic seizure - Wikipedia

    An atonic seizure (also called drop seizure, akinetic seizure, astatic seizure, or drop attack) is a type of seizure that consists of partial or complete loss of muscle tone that is caused by temporary alterations in brain function. These seizures are brief – usually less than fifteen seconds.

  6. Epilepsia partialis continua - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsia_partialis_continua

    Although this sort of infection is uncommon it can be due to a virus, bacterium, or (very rarely) fungus. If a seizure happens during the infection itself, the person most likely does not have epilepsy but has "symptomatic seizures" or seizures occurring because of a known injury to the brain. Once the infection is stopped the seizures will stop.

  7. Seizure types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure_types

    A seizure is a paroxysmal episode of symptoms or altered behavior arising from abnormal excessive or synchronous brain neuronal activity. [5] A focal onset seizure arises from a biological neural network within one cerebral hemisphere, while a generalized onset seizure arises from within the cerebral hemispheres rapidly involving both hemispheres.

  8. Generalized tonic–clonic seizure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_tonic–clonic...

    These unilateral seizure types (formerly known as simple partial seizure or a complex partial seizure and now referred to as focal aware seizure and focal impaired awareness seizure, respectively [5]) can then spread to both hemispheres of the brain and cause a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. This type of seizure has a specific term called ...

  9. Vertiginous epilepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertiginous_epilepsy

    For simple partial seizures medical treatment is not always necessary. [2] To the comfort of the patient, someone ailed with this disease may be able to lead a relatively normal life with vertiginous seizures. If, however, the seizures become too much to handle, antiepileptic medication can be administered as the first line of treatment. [2]
