The current case study deals with Comminuted Scapular Body Fracture after Seizure. Diagnosis of the epilepsy defined as two or more unprovoked seizures. prevalence is found to be .5 – 2%. People are at risk fractures either due fall, muscle contractions that lead for avulsion loss protective mechanism during Muscles contraction tonic phase seizures can result in variety musculoskeletal injuries...

PURPOSE Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, have gained increasing importance in pathophysiology of various neurological diseases including epilepsy. There are experimental data suggesting a role for leptin in the genesis of seizures and neuroprotection related to seizures. However there are no clinical studies on the effects of epileptic seizures on adipokines. METHODS We measured...

OBJECTIVE To document the effect of unprovoked status epilepticus (SE) on the prognosis for otherwise normal children with focal epilepsy. METHODS From the Nova Scotia Childhood Epilepsy Study (population-based), we identified patients with focal epilepsy, normal intelligence, and neurologic examination and follow-up ≥ 10 years. We compared those with and without unprovoked SE. RESULTS One ...

Seizure is a common presentation in the emergency care setting, and new-onset epilepsy is the most common cause of unprovoked seizures. The patient history and physical examination should direct the type and timing of laboratory and imaging studies. No single sign, symptom, or test dearly differentiates a seizure from a nonseizure event (e.g., syncope, pseudoseizure). Electroencephalography is ...

Commentary Although strokes occur in approximately 3.8 per 100,000 children (1, 2) and are considered a cause of epilepsy, there is limited data on seizure incidence after pediatric strokes. In addition, factors associated with an increased risk are not well characterized. Unlike adults among whom seizures are relatively infrequent (3–5% cumulative incidence) (3, 4), estimates among children va...

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterised by recurrent unprovoked seizures, and affects 50 million people worldwide. Approximately 30% of these do not have seizure control even with the best available medications, hence renewed and increasing interest in the use of dietary treatments to treat epilepsy. These treatments include the traditional ketogenic diets but also the ...

Epilepsy is characterized by unprovoked repetitive occurrence of seizures, which are the clinical manifestation of an abnormal cerebral discharge. Seizure semiology is widely variable, in some cases being difficult to identify and diagnose. Especially in nonconvulsive seizures, a high grade of suspicion is necessary and description of episodes by patients and witness may be bizarre and misleadi...
