Time for #FunFactFriday! 🧠 Let's learn some of the facts about #Epilepsy. Generalized epilepsy can be categorized by motor onset and non-motor onset features. Generalized epilepsy with motor onset features including tonic-clonic, tonic, atonic, myoclonic, myoclonic-atonic, and epileptic spasms. The motor onset features described the dominant feature of the seizure at the beginning. Non-motor onset generalized seizures are more difficult to recognize clinically and are often referred to as absence seizures. Question: What is not a variant of generalized non-motor absence seizure? Choose the correct answer on our website. ⬇

Time for #FunFactFriday! Last week we learned how epilepsy is defined and classified. Let's continue this week into the subcategories. Focal onset seizures can be subcategorized into aware and impaired awareness (describing the person’s level of consciousness) then further divided into motor or non-motor (describing clinical manifestations or semiology) during an event. The onset features can allow identification of the area of the brain, lobe or hemisphere that is involved in seizure onset and propagation. Focal seizures can spread widely in the brain to engage bilateral networks, including cortical and subcortical structures, resulting in a tonic-clonic seizure with loss of consciousness. This seizure type is known as a focal to bilateral tonic clonic seizure. Question: Focal non-motor seizures can have clinical manifestation from which of the following categories used as seizure descriptors? You have 5️⃣ answer choices this time. Answer on our website. https://lnkd.in/eemAWdkN
