Children with epilepsy have repeated generalised convulsions. There is usually no obvious cause, and they are well between convulsions. The diagnosis is usually based on the child’s history. Epilepsy often starts at puberty and can be controlled (prevented) with oral anticonvulsants. All children with epilepsy should be referred to a neurological clinic for assessment and initial treatment […]

What is epilepsy?

What are Convulsions?Commonly known as fits. Convulsions present with sudden abnormal movements and an altered level of consciousness due to abnormal brain activity. Convulsions have many different causes and may present in a wide variety of ways. The causes are:o Epilepsyo High fevero Meningitiso Hypoglycaemiao Cerebral cysticercosis (brain cysts due to pig tapeworm)

9


Immediate ActionAll children with convulsions must be urgently transferred to hospital for investigation, to establish the cause, and start the correct management and treatment.

10


How to handle convulsions?oBefore moving a child with convulsions, make sure their airways are open and often give oxygen. oAlways measure the blood glucose concentration with a reagent strip and correct any hypoglycaemia. oCool the child if the temperature is very high.

11


o Convulsion associated with febrile disease 2-4% of all children before the age of 5 years

o Symptomatic seizures 0.5-1%o Epilepsy: recurrent unprovoked seizures

First year of life: 1,2/1000 o Childhood and adolescents: 0,5-1/10000

Are Convulsions, Seizures and Epilepsy

the same?

22


Are Convulsions, Seizures and Epilepsy the

same?o A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

o The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion".

o Convulsions are when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different types of seizures.

o Some have mild symptoms and no body shaking.

23


Are Convulsions, Seizures and Epilepsy the

same?o It may be hard to tell if

someone is having a seizure.

o Some seizures only cause a person to have staring spells: these may go unnoticed.

24


o Brief blackout followed by period of confusion (the person cannot remember a period of time)

o Changes in behavior such as picking at one's clothing

o Drooling or frothing at the mouth o Teeth clenching o Eye movementso Grunting and snorting o Loss of bladder or bowel control o Shaking of the entire bodyo Mood changes such as sudden anger, unexplainable

fear, panic, joy, or laughter

o Tasting a bitter or metallic flavoro Sudden falling o Temporary halt in breathingo Uncontrollable muscle spasms with twitching and

jerking limbs

Specific symptoms depend on which part of the brain is involved. They occur suddenly and may include:

25


Are Convulsions, Seizures and Epilepsy the same?o Symptoms may stop after a few seconds minutes, or continue for 15 minutes. They rarely continue longer.o The person may have warning symptoms before the attack, such as:

Fear or anxiety Nausea Vertigo Visual symptoms (such as flashing bright

lights, spots, or wavy lines before the eyes)

Warning Signs

26


Causes of Sudden Electrical ActivitySeizures of all types are caused by disorganized and sudden electrical activity in the brain.

29


Points regarding history of a patient with convulsiono illicit drugs, such as: angel dust (PCP), cocaine, crystal met, ecstasy, amphetamines o withdrawal from benzodiazepines , such as Valiumo Kidney or liver failure o Low blood sugaroPhenylketonuria (PKU) which can cause seizures in infantsoPoisoning o Stroke o Toxemia of pregnancyoUremia related to kidney failureoVery high blood pressure, known as malignant hypertensionoVenomous bites and stings derived from snake biteoWithdrawal from alcohol after drinking a lot on most daysoWithdrawal from certain drugs including painkillers and sleeping pills

30


Points regarding history of a patient with convulsiono sometimes no cause can be identified. This is called idiopathic seizures. They are usually seen in children and young adults but can occur at any age.o there might be a Family history of epilepsy or seizureso if seizures repeatedly continue after the underlying problem is treated, the condition is called epilepsy

31


How to understand follow-ups of patients?o febrile seizures: Recurrence

o1/3 may have at least one recurrenceoThe younger the age of onset the greater the risk of recurrenceoLow fever at first seizureoFamily history

oRisk of developing epilepsyo2% (vs 1% in gen pop)o Risk increases with:

oComplexoAbnormal neurological state

32


How to understand followups of patientsStatus epilepticus (SE) presents in a multitude of forms, dependent on aetiology and patient age (myoclonic, tonic, subtle, tonic-clonic, absence, complex partial etc.) Generalized, tonic-clonic SE (GCSE) is the most common form of SE

33


How to understand follow-ups of patients?


34


How to understand follow-ups of patients?Conventional Medical handbook ‘s definition of status

epilepticus:o Single seizure > 30 minuteso Series of seizures > 30 minutes without full recoveryo The longer SE persists,

o the lower is the likelihood of spontaneous cessationo the harder it is to controlo the higher is the risk of morbidity and mortality

35


How to understand follow-ups of patients?o most seizures stop by themselves. However, the

patient can be hurt or injured during a seizure. o try to prevent a fall. Lay the person on the ground in a safe area. Clear the area of furniture or other sharp objects.o cushion the person's head. o Loosen tight clothing, especially around the person's neck.o turn the person on his or her side. If vomiting occurs, this helps make sure that the vomit is not inhaled into the lungs.o Stay with the person until he or she recovers.

37


- how to understand followups of patientso if a baby or child has a seizure during a high fever, cool the child slowly with tepid water. o do not place the child in a cold bath. o You can give the child Belladona 0 once he or she is awake, especially if the child has had fever convulsions before.
