Status epilepticusSeizures are caused by abnormal excessive synchronous discharges of cortical neurons which produce a sudden change in neurological function. Seizures may be generalized, focal, or focal onset with secondary generalization. Generalized seizures involve both hemispheres of the brain ...

Seizures are defined as sudden abnormal electrical activity involving cortical, subcortical, and thalamic neuronal networks, which may cause a change in mental status and possible convulsive motor activity. They are categorized as generalized or focal, convulsive (involving rhythmic muscle contraction and ...
The status epilepticus was manifested by confusion and documented electroencephalographically by continuous focal seizure patterns in the right temporal region. Complex partial status epilepticus is an electroclinical syndrome of prolonged or repetitive complex partial seizures (with continuous interictal ...
