Epilepsy is one of the more common neurological disorders in our lives. So what are the symptoms of this disease in the elderly? 1, symptoms of disoriented seizures This kind of seizure is mostly seen in children and adolescents, without aura. It is characterized by a brief loss of consciousness that begins and ends suddenly, interruption of ongoing activities, double vision, brief upward turning of the eyes, sudden freezing when walking, sudden stopping or slowing down when talking, stopping food at the mouth when eating, the whole process lasts for a few seconds and then suddenly disappears. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual site of the seizure. This kind of epilepsy lesion site in the mesencephalon, thus causing seizure symptoms, but the lesion does not involve the entire mesencephalon, there can be headache type, abdominal pain type, limb pain type, syncope type or cardiovascular seizures. Psychomotor seizure symptoms are also known as “complex partial seizures”. It is a clinical type of seizure. It is often highlighted by paroxysmal psychotic symptoms, impaired consciousness and automaticity. The patient suddenly loses contact with the outside world during the seizure, and the patient becomes mentally blurred and performs some unconscious movements, which is called epileptic automatism. The patient may perform actions that are repeated mechanically, such as smacking the lips, chewing, licking the lips, salivating, stroking the buttons of the coat, wandering, running, climbing high, riding in a vehicle, etc. Some of them show psychomotor excitement. The seizures usually last for a few minutes to half an hour and then gradually wake up with no memory of the behavior. The best drugs for this type of epilepsy are paroxetine and aminoglutethimide, but also Valium, clonidine and traditional Chinese medicine. 4, complex partial seizure symptoms, also known as temporal lobe seizures, psychomotor seizures, for partial seizures with varying degrees of impaired consciousness. The epileptic discharges usually originate in the nucleus pulposus or medial lobe, but may originate in other parts of the frontal lobe, and the clinical manifestations vary greatly due to different origins, diffusion pathways and speeds. Simple partial seizures (of either long or short duration) may occur before the onset of impaired consciousness. Special sensations such as simple autonomic symptoms are often the aura, and seizures of deep structural (medial temporal lobe, limbic system, etc.) origin such as psychogenic seizures (aura) may be very short, with impaired consciousness appearing soon; or they may begin with impaired consciousness, or even simply show impaired consciousness.
