fainting/syncope maybe diagnosed

pschological: relating to the mind such as
panic attacks, extreme stress make
finding the cause difficult during attacks,
patient may cry, scream, uncontrol

EPILEPSY
Definition
Epilepsy is defined as a condition
characterized by recurrent epileptic
seizure. An epileptic seizure is a clinical
manifestation presumed to result from an
abnormal and excessive discharge of a
set of neurones in the brain
Sindrom epilepsi
TRIGGERS
reading
hot water on the had
flasthing, flickering lights
tired
hungry
sleep deprivation
Classification
Classification of seizure types and epilepsy syndromes should always
be attempted, as both may have implications for management and
prognosis
Modified classification
I. Idiopathic epilepsy syndromes (focal or
generalized)
A. Benign neonatal convulsions
B. Benign childhood epilepsy
C. Childhood absence epilepsy
D. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Etiology
1. Idiopatik : (usually generalized seizures) about half
of all seizures have notknown cause (suggests
genetic abnormalities)
2. Kriptogenik: dianggap simptomatik tapi
penyebabnya belum diketahui, termasuk disini
sindroma west, sindroma lennox gestaut dan
epilepsi mioklonik. Gambaran klinis berupa
ensefalopati difus
3. Simptomatik
Trauma, infeksi, kelainan kongenital, lesi desak
ruang
Gangguan peredaran darah otak, toksik
(alkohol, obat), metabolik, kelainan
neurodegeneratif

Indikasi :
Clinical Features
A Simple partial seizures (consciousness not
impaired)
a. Fokal motor manifestation
Motor signs : jerking or spasm of one or more group of
muscle, finger, hand, without or with march to
shoulder jacksonian march
Sindrom epilepsi
1. Sindroma west (infantile spasmus)
Treatment
The crucial decision wether or not to
start anti epileptic drug (AED) treatment
must taken into account the relative risk
of recurrent seizures and commitment to
long term medication with potential side
effects
AED should not be given until the
diagnosis of epilepsy has been confirm
To start AED should be made by patient
and physician
Tujuan pengobatan :
Mengontrol gejala secara adekuat dengan
penggunaan AED yang minimal
Prinsip pengobatan
Diberi AED apabila minimum sudah 2 kali
serangan /tahun, utamakan monoterapi,
dimulai dosis rendah mungkin di naikkan
efektif
Monitor kadar obat dalam serum
Gagal ? obat tak teratur ? obat ditukar ?
Penggantian AED : diturunkan dosis AED
yang lama naikan AED yang baru

Myoclonoc
seizures
Clobazam, clonazepam,
ethosuximide*, lamotrigine,
phenobarbital, piracetam,
primidone*
Valproate
Penghentian AED
Minimal setelah 2 tahun bebas bangkitan,
untuk pasien baru (untuk yang sudah
berulang-ulang minimal 3 tahun atau lebih)
EEG membaik/normal
Bertahap, jangka 3-6 bulan
Obat kombinasi : dimulai dengan menurunkan
dosis AED yang pertama, baru yang lainnya
Kemungkinan kambuh lebih besar pada :
Myoklonik
Grand mal sekunder
Riwayat serangan neonatal
Penggunaan obat-obat kombinasi
EEG masih abnormal
Status epilepticus
Classification
Version 1
Generalized (tonic-clonic, myoclonic,
absence) status epil
Partial (single or complex) status epil
Version 2 (divides according to the condition :
Generalized status epileptikus
Nonconvulsive status epileptikus
Version 3 classifying by life stage
Neonatal period, infancy and childhood
adulthood
Causes :
Many patients who present in convulsive SE do not
have a history of seizures
In people with know epilepsy, the most common cause
is a change in medication :
By physician or
Abrupt cessation
Pharmacologic nonadherence is the most common cause
of SE in patients with khown epilepsy
Otther causes include head trauma, stroke, cardiact
arrest, CNS infection, and neoplasma
Age significantly affects etiology of SE
Younger than 16 years, the most common cause was
fever and / or infection
In adults was cerebrovascular disease (25%)
In more recent series of SE, HIV infection
Penanganan
Prinsip :
Stabilisasi pasien dengan prinsip kegawatan
umum (ABC)
Menghentikan bangkitan dan mencari etiologi
secara simultan
Mencegah bangkitan ulang atau mengatasi
penyulit
Mengatasi faktor pencetus
Bila setelah 60 menit belum teratasi (refrakter),
sebaiknya perawatan dilakukan di ICU

Aim of Guidelines
To prevent seizure-induced brain damage by
limiting the duration of generalized convulsive
status.
Use of Guidelines
Initial Assessment
(see also flow diagram opposite page 4 4)
Resuscitate:
A - support Airway, assume recovery position
B - administer 100% oxygen, assess Breathing
C - Circulation: check pulses & blood pressure, ECG
monitor
D - check blood glucose urgently, replace with
Dextrose if low
E - Establish IV access
Investigations: glucose, electrolytes, calcium, magnesium,
