Abnormal ECG, Seizures, and Associated Neurological Deficits.
In the early 1980s, a 17-year-old girl and her mother were referred to me. The mother had a life-long history of seizures—ultimately well controlled with phenytoin—but she had never had an ECG. Her daughter began to have seizures in late childhood, several times per year, 1 of which was particularly prolonged and left her with a new, permanent neurological disorder impairing motor skills, compr...
متن کاملSevere anemia associated with transient neurological deficits.
In two patients with carotid artery stenosis and anemia, neurological deficits appeared whenever the hemoglobin level fell below a critical level of 5-6 g/dl and resolved with correction of the anemia. Profound anemia should be considered as a cause of focal neurological deficit, especially if there is evidence of cerebral atherosclerosis.
متن کاملAssessment of Subtle Neurological Deficits
Objectives-This project was conducted to examine whether the computerised analysis of psychomotor responses available from Cognitive Drug Research is appropriate for measuring an effect oflow level exposure to mercury in dentists. Methods-A computerised battery of psychomotor tests was given to two groups of dentists (older dentists and trainees) and to two age matched control groups. As well a...
متن کاملCardiac arrest associated with epileptic seizures: A case report with simultaneous EEG and ECG
Ictal asystole is a rare, probably underestimated manifestation of epileptic seizures whose pathophysiology is still debated. This report describes two patients who had cardiac asystole at the end of their seizure. The first patient was a 13-year-old boy with complex partial seizures.. His MRI showed symmetrical signal abnormality in the bilateral parietooccipital lobe accompanied by mild glios...
متن کاملEpileptic seizures from abnormal networks: why some seizures defy predictability.
Seizure prediction has proven to be difficult in clinically realistic environments. Is it possible that fluctuations in cortical firing could influence the onset of seizures in an ictal zone? To test this, we have now used neural network simulations in a computational model of cortex having a total of 65,536 neurons with intercellular wiring patterned after histological data. A spatially distri...
