Template:Seizure types

Revisión del 19:45 15 jul 2016 de Moomoodoctor (discusión | contribs.) (The ILAE is moving away from the the terms simple, partial and complex and focusing on "focal" or "generalized" with or without impairment in consciousness. They recognized the broad us of these other terms, however.)

Seizure Types

Classification is based on the international classification from 1981[1]

Focal seizures

(Older term: partial seizures)

  • Without impairment in consciousness– (AKA Simple partial seizures)
    • With motor signs
    • With sensory symptoms
    • With autonomic symptoms or signs
    • With psychic symptoms (including aura)
  • With impairment in consciousness - (AKA Complex Partial Seizures--Older terms: temporal lobe or psychomotor seizures)
    • Simple partial onset, followed by impairment of consciousness
    • With impairment of consciousness at onset
  • Focal seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures
    • Simple partial seizures evolving to generalized seizures
    • Complex partial seizures evolving to generalized seizures
    • Simple partial seizures evolving to complex partial seizures evolving to generalized seizures

Generalised seizures

  • Absence seizures (Older term: petit mal)
    • Typical absence seizures
    • Atypical absence seizures
  • Myoclonic seizure
  • Clonic seizures
  • Tonic seizures
