Korea lacks practical guideline regarding driver's licensing for persons with epilepsy. Therefore, these consensus guidelines would be useful for assessing the fitness of persons with epilepsy for as drivers of personal vehicles in Korea. In the guidelines, a person with chronic epilepsy may receive a driver's license after a seizure-free period of two years. A person with seizures occurring on...

Epilepsy - the world's most common serious brain disorder - is defined by recurrent unprovoked seizures that result from complex interactions between distributed neural populations. We explore some macroscopic characteristics of emergent ictal networks by considering intracranial recordings from human subjects with intractable epilepsy. For each seizure, we compute a simple measure of linear co...

OBJECTIVE Most febrile seizures occur outside of hospitals, and in most cases, information about the characteristics of the seizures is obtained from the parents. This makes it difficult to differentiate between simple and complex seizures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and the red blood cell (erythrocyte) distribution width (RDW)...

This chapter focuses on the classification of seizures and epilepsy syndromes based on the International League Against Epilepsy's classification systems from 1981 and 1989, respectively, which are still used today in clinical practice and have formed the basis for a worldwide standardized approach to diagnosing, treating, and studying seizure disorders. This classification system is based on c...

In adults, seizures manifesting with abdominal complaints are usually associated with complex partial or secondary generalized seizures. Also, seizure periodicity is not expected in postmenopausal women. We encountered a 72-year-old woman with episodic nausea and abdominal pain that usually occurred with predictable regularity. When symptoms persisted after extensive gastrointestinal investigat...

This paper proposes a method for automatic detection of seizure onset. Two statistical features: skewness and kurtosis with a wavelet based feature: normalized coefficient of variation (NCOV) were extracted from the data. The classification between normal and seizure EEGs was performed using simple linear classifier. The performance of the algorithm was tested on the 10 patient’s data of CHB-MI...

People with epilepsy are more accident prone than the non-epilepsy population. Bone fractures are most often due to seizure-related falls. However, seizures themselves, in particular generalized tonic-clonic seizures, may also cause fractures, e.g. of the thoracic spine. Here, I present a man who developed focal epilepsy following a subarachnoidal hemorrhage. During a focal motor seizure with l...

Background: Febrile seizure is one of the commonest childhood neurologic diseases. There an increasing concern that vitamin D deficiency may play etiological role. This study was conducted to find out association between levels and febrile seizure. Objective were determine in children with simple Methods: case control institute child mother health, Dhaka from July 2019 June 2020. Children aged ...
