[Differential diagnostic significance of the duration of postseizure transient falling symptoms]
Abstract:
Development of post-seizure transient symptoms of lapse was studied in patients suffering from cerebral tumours with epileptic syndrome and from epilepsy of traumatic or infectious etiology. It has been found that in patients with cerebral tumours those symptoms are more frequent, more lasting and appear later (after the disease onset) than in patients with epilepsy of traumatic or infectious etiology. The principal difference, however, consists in the fact that the duration of the transient symptoms of lapse in the patients with cerebral tumours becomes longer from seizure to seizure: this is not the case in the patients with epilepsy. This dynamic symptom makes it possible to differentiate epilepsy of traumatic or infectious etiology from the epileptic syndrome caused by brain tumour before the development of intracranial hypertension. This feature is especially valuable, since it can be observed at the very beginning of the seizure period.

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:
