Seizure
An acute, transient neurological event caused by abnormal

electrical discharge within the brain

Status epilepticus
Seizure activity that fails to terminate within the anticipated time period or it refers to a series of consecutive seizures without recovery in between them

Epilepsy
Syndrome or recurrent, unprovoked seizures

Stages
Prodromal
When symptoms start to appear prior to the big event
Aura
Does

not happen with all types
Focal seizures or tonic-clonic types

Ictus
Actual seizure 1-3 min
Greater >5 min or back-to-back
Status Epilepticus
Post Ictus/Postictal state
After the seizure
Takes hours to days
Todds paralysis

Status epilepticus

Seizure lasts more than 5 min
Ongoing or without returning to

normal
Usually tonic-clonic
Treatment: benzodiazepines
(enhance GABA)

Stroke Damage to part of the brain caused by a problem

Stroke

Damage to part of the brain caused by a problem with

the blood supply
There is a blockage or burst
Usually happens quickly
Слайд 12

Stroke ISCHEMIC Death of tissue due to blockage by Thrombotic –

Stroke

ISCHEMIC

Death of tissue due to blockage by
Thrombotic – atherosclerotic plaque
Embolic –

any other (fat, cholesterol, blood platelets, stenosis)
Much more common
Damage depends on location and time

HEMORRHAGE

When an artery in the brain breaks, creating a pool of blood that damage the brain
Bleeding in the brain
Due to burst blood vessel

Transient ischemic attack

Effects last no longer than 24 hours from onset

or the symptoms start to resolve within 1-20 min
Minimal long-term damage
The FAST test helps people t o quickly recognize

Stroke

Diagnosis and Treatment
CT scan of the head
+blood to drop

blood pressure a lot; neurosurgery: to coil, clip or craniotomy; give fresh frozen plasma
-blood less than 3-4,5 hours tPA
ECG – Atrial fibrillation, Atrial flutter. Warfarin, NOAC
ECHO – Thrombose. Warfarin, NOAC, heparin bridge
Carotid u/s –Carotid artery stenosis. Carotid endarterectomy stenting
Слайд 18

Stroke Acute

tPA (tissue plasminogen activator)
For Ischemic Stroke! Dissolve the clot by

activating the protein that cause fibrinolysis
Given within 3 hours (3-4,5) from onset
Criteria: CT scan negative, labs within normal limits (glucose, INR, platelets), BP controlled <180/105; hasn’t recently receive (heparin or other anticoagulants), any recent surgery
Aspirin Prevent more clots – Aspirin 325mg
Surgery Mechanical Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia; Suction removal

Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Causes by aneurysm (leaks or bleeds)
Thunder clap headache (suddenly and

maximally intensive), the sentinel bleed, neck stiffness, neurological deficit into coma
Diagnosis: CT scan, MR/CT Angiogram , a lumbar puncture (xanthochromia)
Слайд 21

Hemorrhage Treatment: BP coil or clip Hydrocephalus: serial lumbar punctures, VP

Hemorrhage

Treatment:
BP <140/<90 (beta blockers, calcium channels blockers);
coil or clip
Hydrocephalus:

serial lumbar punctures, VP shunt
Seizure prophylaxis: levetiracetam

Increased intracranial pressure:
Hypertonic solution (mannitol or hypertonic saline)
Elevated the head of the bed
Hyperventilate
Vasospasm: calcium channel blockers

Hemorrhage

Intraparenchymal
Caused by hypertension
Focal neurologic deficit, headache, nausea and vomiting, coma
Diagnosis: CT

scan
Treatment: decrease intracranial pressure, craniotomy, evacuated the hematoma
