When a sheep is frightened, it will suddenly fall to the ground, stiffen its limbs and convulse. If a patient has a sudden onset of this condition, it is commonly referred to as a “goat seizure” or “goat horn”. A common type of epilepsy is “amniotic” and can be easily diagnosed. There are many different types of seizures, including “complex partial seizures” which can be difficult to detect and even treated as psychosis. Epilepsy is a neurological malfunction caused by excessive neuronal discharge in the brain; it can occur at any age, but is most common in children and adolescents, with a “lifetime prevalence” of 4-7 per 100,000. The risk of death for people with epilepsy is 2-3 times higher than that of the general population. The suffering caused by epilepsy affects not only the patient and family, but also society. Epilepsy is not only a medical problem, but also an important public health and social issue, so early detection, diagnosis and treatment are especially valuable. Diagnosis and treatment depend on health care professionals, while “early detection” can only be achieved by family members and loved ones. Seizures are characterized by abnormalities of motor, sensory, mental or autonomic nerves, with or without changes in consciousness or alertness. There are several aspects: 1, “aura”: “aura” refers to the patient’s subjective perception of signs of seizures, the start of the seizure signal before the obvious seizure, has localized diagnostic value. 2, “convulsions”: tonic, clonic or tonic clonic muscles of the limbs. 3. “Disorientation”: i.e. loss of consciousness. 4, “automatism”: automatism that is involuntary activity. 5. EEG abnormalities: i.e. abnormal EEG waveforms, spikes, slow waves, etc. ”Complex partial seizures, also known as psychomotor epilepsy, are most likely to be overlooked or treated as psychosis; they mostly originate in the medial temporal lobe or limbic system. There are different types of seizures depending on the origin, diffusion pathway and speed of the discharges: Disorders of consciousness only: Sudden stopping of movements, straightening of the eyes, not falling down, no change in facial color, and continuation of the original activity after the seizure. The seizure may continue after the seizure. Automatism refers to some involuntary, unconscious movements that occur during or after a seizure in a blurred state of consciousness, and are often forgotten after the seizure. The automatism can be a continuation of the pre-seizure action or a newly emerged action during the seizure. It usually lasts for several minutes. Common automatisms include: 1. Oropharyngeal automatisms: the most common, manifested as involuntary lip licking, lip smacking, chewing, swallowing or feeding-like movements, sometimes accompanied by salivation, throat clearing and other actions. Oropharyngeal automatism in complex partial seizures is mostly seen in temporal lobe epilepsy. 2. Postural automatism: It is manifested by substantial twisting of the trunk and limbs, often accompanied by fearful faces and shouting, and is easily seen during sleep. Most often seen in frontal lobe epilepsy. 3. Hand automatism: simple repetitive hand movements, such as groping, face wiping, hand clapping, hand wringing, unbuttoning, pocket turning, opening and closing drawers or faucets, etc. 4.Walking automatism: walking, running, riding in a car without purpose, not distinguishing direction, and sometimes avoiding obstacles. 5.Speech automaticity: it is manifested as self-talk, mostly repeating simple words or incomplete sentences, and the content is sometimes difficult to understand. For example, it may say “where am I”, “I am afraid”, etc. The lesions are mostly located in the nondominant hemisphere. Simple partial seizures evolve into complex partial seizures: The seizures begin as any of the above-mentioned simple partial seizures and are followed by impaired consciousness or a variety of automatic symptoms. Classical complex partial seizures have such a course. Several clinically common complex partial seizures of different origins are as follows: 1. Hippocampal-amygdala (medial temporal lobe) origin: Seizures of hippocampal origin often begin with a strange, indescribable abnormal sensation, followed by impaired consciousness, motor cessation, straightened eyes, screaming, and automaticity (often oropharyngeal automaticity). Seizures of amygdala origin often begin with a feeling of rising gas or nausea, may be accompanied by more pronounced autonomic symptoms, and the loss of consciousness is gradual and accompanied by automatism. Seizures of hippocampal origin account for 70%-80% of temporal lobe epilepsy and often involve the amygdala, making the distinction between the two more difficult. The seizures last for several minutes (usually 2-5 minutes), start and end slowly, and are often followed by hazy consciousness. 2. Frontal origin: The onset of sensation is nonspecific, and the prominent manifestation is postural automatism. The motor form of the seizure may be diverse, but the form of the seizure is fixed in the same patient. The seizure duration is short (often shorter than 1 minute), the seizure starts and ends quickly, and consciousness is recovered soon after the seizure. 3. Lateral temporal cortical origin: the seizure starts with hallucinations, delusions, dream-like states, etc., followed by impaired consciousness. Seizures of other cortical origins evolve into complex partial seizures, often with clinical symptoms related to the corresponding cortical functions first, followed by impaired consciousness and automaticity. Generalized seizures: Simple or complex partial seizures can be followed by generalized seizures, most often followed by generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The EEG during seizures shows rapid generalization of focal abnormal discharges to full-blown discharges in both hemispheres. The interictal EEG is focally abnormal.
