• 2) Absent seizure.
• 3) Myoclonic seizure.
• 4) Tonic seizure.
• 5) Atonic seizure.
• 6) Clonic seizure.

B) Partial or focal onset seizures.

• 1) Simple focal seizure.
• 2) Complex focal seizure.

C) Psychogenic seizures ( Psychogenic seizures)

A) General seizures (General seizures)

• There are six types of generalized seizures.
• In generalized seizures, both the hemispheres of the brain, i.e. the right and left hemispheres, are involved, i.e. uncontrolled electrical discharges occur in both the hemispheres of the brain.
• In this type of seizure, the patient becomes unconscious.
• These seizures last from a few seconds to a few minutes.

1) Tonic – clonic seizures.

• Tonic clonic seizures are also called grandmother seizures.
• In this seizure, the patient’s consciousness is completely lost. And the patient also falls to the ground.
• In the tonic stage, the patient’s muscles stiffen and muscle tone increases.
• In the clonic phase, the patient’s muscle tone is lost.

2) Absence seizure.

• Absence seizures are also called petitmal seizures.
• This type of seizure is mainly seen in children.
• These seizures are seen only for a few seconds.
• In these seizures, the patient experiences episodes lasting only a few seconds and the patient does not even realize that he has any kind of issue.

3) Myoclonic seizures.

• Myoclonic seizures involve the muscles and involve excessive jerking movements of the body. Therefore, in myoclonic seizures, excessive jerking of the body is observed.

4) Tonic seizures.

• In this seizure, muscle tone suddenly increases and the body becomes stiff and muscle tone increases greatly.

5) Atonic seizure.

• In this seizure, muscle tone is lost, so a drop attack is seen in this, that is, the patient falls down because in this seizure, the patient’s muscle tone suddenly stops. In this seizure, the patient suddenly regains consciousness after having a drop attack. In this seizure, the patient is at high risk of head injury.

6) Clonic seizure.

• In this seizure, the patient’s muscle tone is suddenly lost. In this, the person appears unconscious and his muscle tone is also lost. In this seizure, jerking moment of the limb and jerking moment of the extremities are seen.

B) Partial or focal onset seizures. (Partial and Focal Onset Seizures.)

• These seizures are also called partial focal seizures and partial seizures.
• These seizures involve one side of the hemisphere.
• Therefore, whatever body activity is regulated by the involved hemisphere, the affection is seen.
• There are two types of partial and focal onset seizures.

1) Simple focal seizure.

• In this type of seizure, the patient feels conscious but experiences unusual feelings and sensations.
• In this type of seizure, the person may feel very happy, very angry, or Feelings of sudden sadness or nausea occur suddenly and without any reason.
  This seizure involves only one hemisphere, so the person feels things that are not there in reality.

2) Complex focal seizure.

• In this seizure, the patient’s level of consciousness is altered or lost.
• In this seizure, the person experiences a dream-like experience.
• In this type of seizure, the person does not even remember the work properly. It is called complex focal seizure.

C) Psychogenic seizures

• These seizures are also called pseudo seizures.
• These seizures are mainly seen due to psychiatric conditions.
  In these seizures, the person feels like he is having a seizure but it is not actually happening.

Explain the Clinical manifestation/ sign and symptoms of seizure.

• Temporary confusion.
• Uncontrolled jerking of the arms and legs.
• Loss of consciousness.
• Loss of awareness.
• Temporary confusion is observed.

Explain the medical management of the patient with the seizures .

If the patient has a condition of seizures, then provide anticonvulsant medication.

1) Provide Phenytoin sodium medication to the patient.

If the patient has partial and generalized seizures, then phenytoin Provide medication.

This medication is mainly used when there is a condition of cardiac dysrhythmia or some types of nerve pain.

2) Provide carbamazepine medication to the patient.

Carbamazepine is mainly used for partial and generalized seizures.

Carbamazepine decreases synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

3) Administer valporic acid medication to the patient.

Valporic acid is used for partial and generalized seizures.

Valporic acid increases GABA.

4) Ethosuxamide := This medication is mainly used for absence seizures.

5) Diazepam = Diazepam medication mainly works as a sedative. Which is mainly used in generalized seizures (Absence, Atonic, Myoclonic).

Explain the Surgical management of patients with seizures. (Explain the surgical management of Caesarean section patient.)

• Surgery is mainly performed for patients who have suffered from any intracranial tumor, cyst, abscess and vascular abnormality.

1) Resective and palliative operations:=

• If the electrical activity inside the brain increases To treat the signs and symptoms of a stroke, the part of the brain that is causing the increased electrical activity is resected.

2) Temporal Lobectomy:

• If the seizure is mainly caused by the temporal lobes, then the temporal lobe is removed.

3) Corpus Callosum.

• If the seizure is caused by the corpus callosum, then the affected part is removed.

4) Extratemporal resection

• In this, if the seizure is mainly caused by the temporal lobe, then the temporal lobe is resected.
