|---|---|
| complex partial seizure | <neurology> Seizures with elaborate and multiple sensory, motor, and/or psychic components. A common feature is the clouding of consciousness and amnesia for the event. Some clinical manifestations may include more complex behaviours like burst of anger, emotional outbursts, fear or automatisms. The EEG often reveals spike discharges in the temporal lobe during sleep. (05 Jan 1998) |
| convulsive seizure | Seizure with clonic or tonic-clonic motor activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myoclonic seizure | Seizure associated with single or repetitive myoclonic jerks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psychic seizure | A simple partial seizure characterised by an attack of psychic phenomena such as a dreamy state, deja vu, autonomic sensation or emotion; commonly, but not exclusively, associated with temporal lobe epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psychogenic seizure | A clinical spell that resembles an epileptic seizure, but is not due to epilepsy. The EEG is normal during an attack, and the behaviour is often related to psychiatric disturbance, such as a conversion disorder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psychomotor seizure | <neurology> Seizures with elaborate and multiple sensory, motor, and/or psychic components. A common feature is the clouding of consciousness and amnesia for the event. Some clinical manifestations may include more complex behaviours like burst of anger, emotional outbursts, fear or automatisms. The EEG often reveals spike discharges in the temporal lobe during sleep. (27 Sep 1997) |
| secondarily generalised tonic-clonic seizure | A generalised tonic-clonic seizure that begins with a partial seizure and evolves into a generalised tonic-clonic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seizure | <clinical sign, neurology> A sudden attack or convulsion due to involuntary electrical activity in the brain. It is due to an uncontrolled burst of electrical activity in the brain that can result in a wide variety of clinical manifestations such as: muscle twitches, staring, tongue biting, urination, loss of consciousness and total body shaking. Examples include: focal seizure, absence seizure, partial seizure, psychomotor seizure, petit-mal seizure and grand-mal seizures. (27 Sep 1997) |
| seizure, causes of | Known causes of seizures include head injuries, brain tumours, lead poisoning, maldevelopment of the brain, genetic and infectious illnesses. But in fully half of the patients with seizures, no cause can be found. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyridoxine dependency with seizure | An inherited disorder (autosomal recessive) apparently associated with deficient brain type I glutamate decarboxylase; seizures can be controlled with vitamin B6. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple partial seizure | A partial seizure that is not associated with impairment of consciousness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subclinical seizure | A seizure detected by EEG, which has no clinical correlate, i.e., an EEG seizure alone or an electrical seizure alone. Synonym: electrographic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonconvulsive seizure | A seizure without clonic or tonic activity or other convulsive motor activity. See: complex partial seizure, absence seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonepileptic seizure | <neurology> Any behaviour that resembles a seizure, but is not epileptic, i.e., not associated with abnormal cerebral EEG activity. See: psychogenic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| generalized seizure |
a seizure involving the entire brain.
