Define Dysgeusia Ans: Distortion of sense of taste. Used to describe
seizure or aura with taste component.
Define Dystonia Ans: Neurological movement disorder, in which
sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive
movements or abnormal postures.
Define Ataxia Ans: Loss of the ability to coordinate muscular
movement. Results in gait disturbance
Define Caraplexy Ans: Sudden, transient episode of loss of muscle
tone accompanied by full conscious awareness, often triggered
by emotions such as laughing, crying, terror
Define EEG in Caraplexy Ans: EEG is normal
Define Narcolepsy Ans: Chronic neurological disorder caused by
the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally
Define EEG in Narcolepsy Ans: Sleep onset REM sleep
Define Wallenbergs Syndrome Ans: Lateral medullary syndrome is
a disease in which the patient has a constellation of neurologic
symptoms due to injury to the lateral part of the medulla in the
brain, resulting in tissue ischemia and necrosis. This syndrome is
characterized by sensory deficits affecting the trunk (torso) and
extremities on the opposite side of the infarction and sensory
deficits affecting the face and cranial nerves on the same side
with the infarct. Specifically, there is a loss of pain and
temperature sensation on the contralateral (opposite) side of the
body and ipsilateral (same) side of the face.

Define Dysphagia Ans: Difficulty swallowing
Define Vertigo Ans: Dizziness
Define Nystagmus Ans: Involuntary rhythmic movement of the
eye, can manifest either vertically or horizontally
Define Dysarthria Ans: Slurred Speech
Define Ptosis Ans: Dropping of the eyelid
Define Horner's syndrome Ans: The combination of drooping of the
eyelid (ptosis) and constriction of the pupil (miosis), sometimes
accompanied by decreased sweating (anhidrosis) of the face on
the same side; redness of the conjunctive of the eye is often also
present.
Define Cortical Dysplasia Ans: Cortical dysplasia is a congenital
abnormality where the neurons is an area of the brains failed to
migrate in the proper formation in utero. Occasionally neurons will
develop that are larger than normal in certain areas. The causes
the signals sent through the neurons in the area to misfire, which
sends an incorrect signal. it is commonly found near the cerebral
cortex and is associated with seizures.
Cortical Dysplasia
a. Absence Seizures
b. Keppra
c. Intractable Seizures

d. West Syndrome Ans: Intractable Seizures
Define Hyperlexia Ans: Seen in autism & Landau Kleffner
A syndrome characterized by an intense fascination with letters or
numbers and an advanced reading ability
Define Hypergraphia Ans: An overwhelming urge to write. It is not
itself a disorder, but can be associated with temporal lobe
changes in epilepsy, and hypomania and mania in the context of
bipolar disorder
Define Hippocampal Sclerosis Ans: A neuropathological condition
with severe neuronal cell loss and gliosis in the hippocampus,
specifically in the CA-1 (Cornu Ammonis Area 1) and subiculum of
the hippocampus
Which test detects Hippocampal Sclerosis? Ans: MRI
Hippocampal Sclerosis
a. Neocortex of Temporal Lobe
b. Globaus Pallidues
c. Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
d. Supplemental Motor Cortex Ans: Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Neocortex of Temporal Lobe
a. Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
