Sudden convulsions, rolling eyes and foaming at the mouth, is that epilepsy?



Sudden convulsions, rolling of the eyes and foaming at the mouth are considered to be the most likely causes of epilepsy from the symptomatic point of view, which is mainly differentiated from hysteria, and the detection of epileptic waveforms with the help of electroencephalogram can help confirm the diagnosis.

There are many causes of epilepsy, some of which are not clear, some of which are related to heredity, and some of which need to be examined with the help of cranial magnetic resonance and other tests to detect epilepsy secondary to encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors and other disorders. EEG waveforms may show spikes and sharp waves.

Hysteria is also known as dissociative disorder also known as dissociative (conversion) disorder or hysteria. It is a group of mental disorders caused by psychogenic factors acting on susceptible individuals.

The disorder is complex in symptomatology and in severe cases can resemble a grand mal seizure, such as sudden collapse, foaming at the mouth, and generalized jerking, which can also be seen in hysterical grand mal seizures, and an electroencephalogram is required to differentiate between the two.
