7.7 million (2019) [ 9] Deaths. 236,000 (2019) [ 9] Meningitis is acute or chronic inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, collectively called the meninges. [ 10] The most common symptoms are fever, intense headache, vomiting and neck stiffness and occasionally photophobia. [ 1]
A brain injury can cause seizure (s) because of the unusual amount of energy that is discharged across of the brain when the injury occurs and thereafter. A disruption of the supply of oxygen may cause damage to the temporal lobe of the brain. [ 35] The risk of seizure (s) from a closed head injury is about 15%. [ 36]
A seizure is a period of symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. [6] Outward effects vary from uncontrolled shaking movements involving much of the body with loss of consciousness (tonic-clonic seizure), to shaking movements involving only part of the body with variable levels of consciousness (focal seizure), to a subtle momentary loss of awareness ...
Neurology. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy ( SUDEP) is a fatal complication of epilepsy. [ 1] It is defined as the sudden and unexpected, non-traumatic and non-drowning death of a person with epilepsy, without a toxicological or anatomical cause of death detected during the post-mortem examination. [ 2][ 3] While the mechanisms underlying ...
Convulsion. A convulsion is a medical condition where the body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in uncontrolled shaking. [ 1] Because epileptic seizures typically include convulsions, the term convulsion is often used as a synonym for seizure. [ 1] However, not all epileptic seizures result in convulsions, and not ...
Photosensitive epilepsy. Photosensitive epilepsy ( PSE) is a form of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights; bold, regular patterns; or regular moving patterns. PSE affects approximately one in 4,000 people (5% of those with epilepsy). [ 1]
