CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 16-year-old male who presented on two separate occasions after a tonic-clonic seizure with hip pain, an antalgic gait, and marked discomfort on hip flexion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fatigue

  Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a dysfunction of sinoatrial node resulting in symptomatic bradycardia or sinus pauses causing decreased cardiac output with cerebral hypoperfusion and usually presents as syncope, presyncope or fatigue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  When a seizure stops, people may have a headache, sore muscles, unusual sensations, confusion, and profound fatigue. These after-effects are called the post-ictal state. [msdmanuals.com]

  The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Play in a well-lit room Do not play if you’re drowsy or fatigued If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor [support.xbox.com]

  For the majority of people who have seizures, there's one symptom that follows having a seizure--a very intense feeling of fatigue. [tbiguide.com]

• Family History of Epilepsy

  There may be a family history of epilepsy or seizures. If seizures continue repeatedly after the underlying problem is treated, the condition is called epilepsy. Most seizures stop by themselves. [medlineplus.gov]

  Risk of future afebrile convulsions (epilepsy) is increased by family history of epilepsy, any neurodevelopmental problem, atypical febrile convulsions (prolonged or focal). [rch.org.au]

• Abnormal Behavior

  However, in some children with ASD, subtle symptoms of seizures are very difficult to differentiate from abnormal behaviors commonly associated with ASD, and in other children with ASD, behaviors that appear to be seizure-like are not seizures. [tacanow.org]

  Your child may look awake but have a variety of abnormal behaviors. These behaviors may range from gagging, lip smacking, running, screaming, crying, and/or laughing. Children do not remember what they experience during this seizure type. [texaschildrens.org]

• Convulsions

  "Convulse" redirects here. For Finnish death metal band, see Convulse (band). [en.wikipedia.org]

  Even if you’ve had convulsions or a seizure or two, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have epilepsy. Fever (febrile convulsion) A convulsion caused by fever is called a febrile convulsion. [healthline.com]

  Seizures or Convulsions How you can help 1. [stjohn.org.nz]

  Upon completion of the flicker ERG recording, a paralysis developed in both upper limbs, then convulsions of the lower limbs followed by a loss of consciousness. The convulsions disappeared after an intravenous injection of diazepam. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Generalized Seizure

  They can cause some of the same physical symptoms as a generalized seizure, like convulsions or muscle slackness. [webmd.com]

  Generalized Seizures Section Generalized seizures occur when there is widespread seizure activity in the left and right hemispheres of the brain. [epilepsyontario.org]

  CONCLUSIONS: Epileptic seizures as one of the clinical manifestations are uncommon. The two most common seizure types were generalized seizures and status epilepticus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Generalized Seizures Generalized seizures begin with a widespread, excessive electrical discharge involving both hemispheres, or sides, of the brain. [nyulangone.org]

• Focal Seizure

  Focal Seizures Doctors break these into three groups: Simple focal seizures: They change how your senses read the world around you: They can make you smell or taste something strange, and may make your fingers, arms, or legs twitch. [webmd.com]

  Focal seizures may also be called partial seizures. With focal seizures, particularly with complex focal seizures, the child may experience an aura before the seizure occurs. [beaumont.org]

  There are two types of focal seizures: Focal seizures with retained awareness This type of focal seizure was previously known as a simple partial seizure. [epilepsyontario.org]

  Focal seizures Focal seizures occur when one area (or lobe) of the brain is affected by abnormal electrical activity. The symptoms and level of consciousness depend on the area of the brain involved. [youngepilepsy.org.uk]

  Focal Seizures Focal seizures begin with an abnormal electrical discharge restricted to one small region of the brain. [nyulangone.org]

• Atonic Seizures

  They may start in the same part of the brain as an atonic seizure, and some people have both myoclonic and atonic seizures. Absence (or petit mal) seizures: You seem disconnected from others around you and don’t respond to them. [webmd.com]

  If this is the first observation of an absence seizure, medical evaluation is recommended. Atonic (also called a drop attack) : Atonic seizures cause loss of muscle tone. In fact, Atonic literally means “without tone” so the muscles become weak. [efepa.org]

  Atonic Seizures With atonic seizures in children (also called drop attacks) there is a sudden loss of muscle tone and the child may fall from a standing position or suddenly drop his/her head. During the seizure, the child is limp and unresponsive. [beaumont.org]

This case report describes the clinical course, workup, and differential diagnosis of a 15-year-old male adolescent with first-time seizure and Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram. A brief review of the literature follows the case presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most patients will be admitted to a telemetry floor for close monitoring, further workup, and treatment of their underlying condition. [emedicine.com]

However, every child with ASD and seizures should have a comprehensive medical workup for known medical disorders. [tacanow.org]

• Epileptiform Activity

  Electroencephalogram (EEG) was negative for epileptiform activity. A diagnosis of seizure in the setting of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) was deemed probable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Temporal epileptiform and nonepileptiform activities, mostly unilateral, were found in both groups. Extratemporal epileptiform activities (frontal, parietal, central, occipital and generalized) were also found equally in both groups. [dx.doi.org]

  Since altered awareness occurs with even brief bursts of spike-wave paroxysms on EEG, treatment should be titrated to suppressing all epileptiform activity. The decision to start antiepileptic medication must be made with great care. [reference.medscape.com]
