Illnesses
Nov 2012, Thu

Epileptic seizures, which for years were mistaken for madness, actually result from the synchronous and intense overactivity of a small or large number of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. In its severe form, epilepsy can spread throughout the body, but if it is confined to only one part of the cerebral cortex, it manifests as a partial seizure. Additionally, an epileptic seizure can begin from one focus and gradually spread. The biggest challenge for epileptic patients is that, although they are normal people between seizures, the seizure can occur at any time and the patient often cannot sense that a seizure is about to begin. In a generalized epileptic seizure, the patient loses consciousness, falls to the ground with a scream, their body stiffens, and this is followed by violent muscle spasms. Then, the epileptic patient enters a calm coma period, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours, and remembers nothing upon waking. Seizures can be prevented with medication.
