postictal

Other symptoms associated with the postictal state are less common.

Most patients are in a postictal state following a seizure.

Some of these postictal symptoms are almost always present for a period of a few hours to a day or two.

This may be followed by postictal depression and cardiovascular/respiratory arrest.

The seizure ends with a period of unconsciousness (the postictal state).

In the helicopter Tessa had been postictal from the seizure and beyond communication.

The electroencephalogram showed a postictal delta focus in the right frontotemporal region.

Is postictal electrical silence a predictor of response to electroconvulsive therapy?

The presence of postictal confusion is also helpful.

The postictal state can also be useful for the clinician when determining the focus of the seizure.

It is likely that these may in fact interact or more than one theory may contribute to postictal symptoms.

The shortest postictal interval in their study was 90 minutes and none of the patients had seizures during the scanning.

Postictal psychosis occurs after an epileptic attack and is where the patient has "lost touch with reality."

This is called the postictal state.

These are followed by postictal depression.

Postictal state is of normal consciousness.

The postictal state is the altered state of consciousness that a person enters after experiencing a seizure.

Postictal migraines are a major complaint among epilepsy patients, and can have a variety of etiologies.

One possible cause of these migraines is high intracranial pressure resulting from postictal cerebral edema.

The researchers also subtracted the ictal from the postictal scans, and saw increased blood flow in the thalamus.

There were no convulsions or other discernible ictal or postictal symptoms.

A brief period of confusion known as a postictal state may sometimes follow a seizure occurring in the frontal lobes.

Postictal bliss (PB) is also reported following seizures.

It has been predicted that a decrease in opioid activity following a seizure could cause withdrawal symptoms, contributing to postictal depression.

In addition, individuals with PKD generally have normal postictal neurologic exams.
