Disturbance in responsiveness in patients with post-meningoencephalitic epilepsy
Abstract:
A polygraphic study of the somatic, autonomic and electroencephalographic (EEG) components of the orienting reaction elicited by an auditory stimulus was performed in 29 patients with post-meningoencephalitic epilepsy and in 116 matched subjects in three control groups. Patients with post-meningoencephalitic epilepsy had a significantly more intense orienting reaction than control subjects, the degree depending on the seizure frequency, electroclinical form and history, as well as on the features of the EEG.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Encephalitis l: Introduction
Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology
