  1. Neurology – Part 2 Phase 2 Kaveesha Rajapaksa Ryad Chebbout The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  2. Aims Pathology, Aetiology, Clinical Symptoms and Signs, Investigations and Management of: • Epilepsy • Multiple Sclerosis • Guillain-Barre Syndrome • Motor Neuron Disease • Parkinson's Disease • Dementia The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  3. Epilepsy Definition Recurrent tendency to have spontaneous, intermittent and abnormal electrical activity in a part of the brain or generalised across the brain. Leading to seizures. The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  4. Epilepsy Aetiology • Idopathic (2/3rds) • Structural (Trauma, SOL, Developmental, Stroke) • Metabolic (hypoglycaemia, hypocalcemia, hyponatraemia) The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  5. Epilepsy Partial = focal onset (localising features!) Generalised = no localising features! Simple = aware Complex = impaired awareness The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  6. Epilepsy Partial Seizures Commonly caused by structural pathology. Simple Partial (Jacksonian March) Complex Partial = classically temporal lobe! Partial + Secondary Generalisation The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…

  7. Epilepsy Generalised Seizures Commonly idiopathic. Absence = </ 10sec, childhood Tonic-Clonic = complex, stiff->jerk, post-ictal confusion + drowsiness Myoclonic = sudden limb/face/trunk jerk Atonic = loss of tone->fall, no LOC The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
