Movement-Induced Seizures

[On a case of convulsive epilepsy with spontaneous seizures and seizures induced by movement].

seizures and movement disorders induced by hyperglycemia without ketosis in elderly.

background: non-ketotic hyperglycemia (nkhg) may increase the probability of seizures and movement disorders. methods: we describe  a series of 14 elders admitted for seizures and movement disorders linked to nkhg. results: twelve  patients  developed motor  seizures  and two others movement disorders. glucose levels varied 9.28 to 32 mmol/l, while osmolarity values varied from 302.28 to 328  m...

Movement-induced heart rate changes in epileptic and non-epileptic seizures.

Heart rate changes are common in epileptic and non-epileptic seizures. Previous studies have not adequately assessed the contribution of motor activity on these changes nor have evaluated them during prolonged monitoring. We retrospectively evaluated 143 seizures and auras from 76 patients admitted for video EEG monitoring. The events were classified according to the degree of ictal motor activ...

BACKGROUND Non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKHG) may increase the probability of seizures and movement disorders. METHODS We describe a series of 14 elders admitted for seizures and movement disorders linked to NKHG. RESULTS Twelve patients developed motor seizures and two others movement disorders.

Tuberculoma-Induced Seizures

Seizures in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients can be caused by a wide variety of opportunistic infections, and, especially in developing countries, tuberculosis (TB) should be high on the differential. In India, TB is the most common opportunistic infection in HIV and it can have several different central nervous system manifestations, including intracranial tuberculomas. In this case...
