Case Report on Seizures Disorder

Abstract

Introduction:  Seizures are periods of aberrant motor, sensory, autonomic, or mental activity caused by discharge from brain neurons [1]. Epilepsy is defined as the two or more unprovoked seizures that occur more than 24 hours apart [2]. There are three types of seizures: focal, generalized, and unknown. Generalized seizures arise in bilaterally dispersed networks and rapidly activate them [3]. The origin of focal seizures is assumed to be in one hemisphere of the brain. Epileptic spasms are an example of the unknown kind [4]. Main symptoms:  The signs and symptoms of a seizure can range from minor to severe; these are as follows; perplexity, stare, Jerking motions of the arms and legs, Loss of awareness, Fear, anxiety, and other cognitive symptoms. Diagnosis: The initial step for a physician is to rule out alternative possibilities, such as nonepileptic seizures. These might seem like seizures, but they're usually caused by other things like low blood sugar or high blood pressure, changes in heart rhythm, or mental stress. Therapeutic Intervention: Tab. Levetiracetam 500mg * OD, Tab. Carbamazepine 200mg * TDS, Tab. Escitalopram 10mg * OD, Tab. Neurobion forte 1mg * OD. Outcome: After treatment the patient show improvement.
