hey u, good morning.......

a que for everyone....

A 13 yr old boy with a previous history of seizures is brought to the physician's office by his parents for staring spells that occur in the morning. His parents report that his epilepsy has been well controlled and it has been several yrs since his last seizure. HOwever, they say that he has trouble with spastic movements of his arms and legs almost every morning. An EEG taken during one of these events would be likely to show whcih of the following??

A. A 3Hz spike and wave pattern
B. "Beta buzz" evolving into diffuse polyspikes
C. generalixed seizure involving one hemispheres
D. seizure activity involving both hemispheres
E. seizure activity localized to a discrete portion of one hemisphere

  #51

hello there everyone...almost done with surgery did one more block and scored 70% grin i am very happy still have to work on weak areas ........have lots of those .

ok plan for today is psychiatry..........review as much as i can and at least 1 block of qs.

Is it "B" , hir?

and how are you guys doing ....ok next stop your journalsnod


  #52

we all need to study more guys..(i also did this wrong)

answer is D..

this pt suffers from myoclonic seizures as a result of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy(JME). Myoclonic seizures involve both cerebral hemispheres but rarely cause loss of consciousness or post-ictal confusion.JME typically occurs in adolescents with a history of generalized seizures and responds well to anticonvulsant medications.

B)tonic seizures consist of sudden-onset tonic extension or flexion of the head,truck and/or exptremities for several seconds. they typically occur in relation to drowsiness and are often associated with other neurologic abnormalities. EEG shows nigh frequency electrographic discharge in the beta frequency(BETA BUZZ) with relatively low amplitude compared to the background rhythm. the pattern can evolve into slow spike and wave complexes or diffuse polyspikes.
