If someone has a seizure, does that mean they suffer from epilepsy? A seizure is a change in behavioral state which results from abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Given the right set of circumstances (e.g. - blow to the head, intoxication, high fever) anyone can experience a seizure. The occurrence of a seizure in the presence of some acute precipitating physiological disturbance does not mean that it will ever happen after the precipitating cause has resolved. When seizures recur without any obvious precipitant or cause, then a person may be considered to have epilepsy. What happens during a seizure?

Davol, 76 Mildred Avenue, Swansea, MA 02777-1620 pdavol@labbies.com Understanding Canine Epilepsy WHAT IS EPILEPSY? Epilepsy is a symptom of an underlying neurologic dysfunction occurring within the brain. Toxic substances, metabolic or electrolyte abnormalities or imbalances cause an uncoordinated firing of the neurons located within the section of the brain known as the cerebrum. These episodes of uncoordinated firing manifest themselves in the form of convulsions or seizures in which the dog may experience mild tremors to severe thrashing movements. Epilepsy may occur secondary to many diseases such as distemper, brain tumors, liver or heart failure, diabetes, or as a result of exposure to toxic substances or trauma. However, "true" epilepsy as that which occurs in hereditary syndromes within certain breeds of dogs manifests as a symptom of primary neurologic dysfunction of which the cause is still unknown. As such, from a clinical standpoint, in cases of true epilepsy, only the symptom is treatable. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF EPILEPSY?

Epilepsy Week is an annual national health campaign aimed at raising awareness of the condition. What is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is a common brain disorder. The condition is characterised by re-occurring epileptic seizures. These seizures happen, primarily, as a result of a disturbance of brain functions. The facts More than 300,000 people in the UK have epilepsy (1 in 200); 80 new cases are diagnosed in the UK every day. One person in 50 will develop epilepsy at some time in their life. 1 in 20 will have a single seizure. Epilepsy is diagnosed on the basis of two or more epileptic seizures. A seizure is triggered by a sudden interruption in the brain's highly complex electro-chemical activity. Epilepsy can develop at any age. However, it is diagnosed most often before the age of 20 and after the age of 60.

Hoban, MD Loyola University Medical Center Table of Contents Introduction Ontogeny of Childhood Seizures Causes of Epilepsy in Childhood General Guidelines for Treatment ... Other links Introduction Epilepsy represents the most common serious neurologic problem affecting children, with an overall incidence approaching 2% for febrile seizures and 1% for idiopathic epilepsy. Diagnosis is complicated by protean clinical manifestations which are age-dependent and differ substantially from adult seizure disorders. For example, infantile spasms may be misinterpreted as a simple startle reflex and absence (petit mal) seizures are sometimes attributed to inattention or attention deficit. Effective treatment depends largely on the physician's ability to establish an accurate diagnosis and choose appropriate therapy based on the likelihood of clinical benefit as well as potential side effects.

Epilepsy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Epilepsy (sometimes referred to as a seizure disorder ) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures . The condition is named from the Greek epilepsia ("a taking hold of or seizing"), and has in the past been associated with religious experiences and even demonic possession Historically epilepsy was called the Sacred Disease because people thought that epileptic seizures were a form of attack by demons, and that the visions epileptics experienced were sent by the Gods Hippocrates http://quote.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocrates remarked that epilepsy would be considered divine only until it was understood. Table of contents 1 Types of epileptic seizures 2 Causes 3 Treatment 4 Controversy ... edit Types of epileptic seizures Epileptic seizures are classified both by their patterns of activity in the brain and their effects on behaviour. In terms of their pattern of activity, seizures may be described as either partial or generalised . Partial seizures only involve a localised part of the brain, whereas generalised seizures involve the entire cortex . The term 'secondary generalisation' may be used to describe a partial seizure that later spreads to the whole of the cortex and becomes generalised. Partial seizures may be further subdivided into simple and complex seizures. This refers to the effect of such a seizure on consciousness; simple seizures cause no interruption to consciousness (although they may cause sensory distortions or other sensations) whereas complex seizures interrupt consciousness. This does not necessarily mean that the person experiencing this sort of seizure will fall unconscious (like a faint). For example, complex partial seizures may involve the unconscious repetition of simple actions, gestures or verbal utterances.

Login Directory Merchandise Contact Us ... Abstracts/Annual Meeting Publications Full size image available below Epilepsy and GABA Years of research on the brain's message delivery system is paying off for patients with epilepsy. Scientists discovered that abnormal levels of chemicals such as GABA unbalance the system and may cause a seizure. Now they are developing new treatments that promote harmony in the message delivery system and efficiently ward off seizures. When a chemical thunderstorm churns in the brain, messages normally delivered with precision from one cell to the next gush out of control. This flood of nerve cell chatter may trigger parts of your body to contract rapidly, your mouth to salivate, a feeling of "deja vu" and even a total blackout a seizure. For years scientists have been analyzing the brain's message delivery system in order to find ways to control seizures. People who experience repeated seizures suffer from epilepsy. This ailment is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, afflicting approximately one percent of Americans about 2.5 million people. Seizures can occur in healthy children, adults and the elderly as well as those with other disorders such as a brain injury. Traditional medications are not successful for all patients and carry numerous side effects. Now after a 15-year drought, several new epilepsy drugs are close to approval in the United States. Many of these recent developments stem from the discovery of the chemical GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid) in 1950.
