EEG/CLTM EXAM WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Where is the hippocampus located? correct answers
>> Temporal lobe, responsible for learning and memory
What is the amygdala responsible for? correct answers
>> Long term emotional, processing of memory, the
amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system.
Located in Temporal Lobe
Foramen Ovale Electrodes correct answers >> Used
to diagnose mesial temporal lobe epilepsy without
penetration of the skull. These are 1 to 4 contact flexible
platinum wires inserted by needle thru the cheek in the
ambient cistern with the help of an X-ray
Todd's Paralysis correct answers >> Paralysis or
weakness in a part of the body after a seizure. This
weakness typically affects arms or legs, but may also
affect speech, eye position or vision. usually subsides
completely within 48 hours.
GRADED A+
,Rasmussen's Encepholopathy correct answers >>
Rare, chronic focal encephalitis, characterized by
frequent severe seizures, loss of motor skills and speech,
hemiparesis, and dementia. The illness affects a single
cerebral hemisphere and generally occurs in children
under the age of 15.
SUDEP correct answers >> defined as the sudden
and unexpected, non-traumatic and non-drowning death
of a person with epilepsy without a known cause.
Current CPR chest compressions correct answers >>
30 to 2, or 100 per minute for adults. And 15 to 2 for
children
Hip Thrusting correct answers >> #1 Characteristic
of Non epileptic events
Gelastic Seizures correct answers >> Are associated
with several different conditions, but mainly hypothalamic
hamartomas. Characterized by sudden outbursts of
Laughter, crying or cough for no apparent or appropriate
reason.
Cataplexy correct answers >> A sudden and
transient episode of muscle weakness, with full conscious
awareness, typically triggered by emotions such as
GRADED A+
,laughing, crying, terror, etc. It is the cardinal symptom of
narcolepsy
Frontal lobe correct answers >> complex
automatisms arise from what lobe?
Cortical Dysplasia correct answers >> A congenital
abnormality where the neurons in an area of the brain
failed to migrate in the proper formation in utero,
commonly found near the cerebral cortex and is
associated with seizures
Lennox Gastaut correct answers >> Onset between
age 2 & 6. characterized by frequent seizures of different
types; is often accompanied by developmental delay,
psychological and behavioral problems. About half of
patients will have status. interictal EEG shows slow spike-
wave complexes.
Keppra correct answers >> Levetiracetam: used for
partial seizures, or as an adjunctive therapy for partial,
myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures.
Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
(JME) correct answers >> Seen in ages 12 to 18,
brief involuntary muscle twitching in the morning. Most
have generalized seizures, many also have absence
GRADED A+
, seizures. Treated with Depakote (Valproic Acid). EEG
shows generalized 3-4 Hz polyspike and slow wave
discharges. Often provoked by Photic and HV
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy correct answers >>
Recurrent, unprovoked seizures which originate from the
temporal lobe. Seizures involve sensory changes; such as
smelling an unusual odor that is not there, or a memory
disturbance. The most common cause is mesial temporal
sclerosis. Surgery can be complicated by decreased
cognitive function.
Simple Partial Seizures correct answers >> Are
seizures involving small areas of the temporal lobe such
as the amygdala and hippocampus. There is no
impairment to the level of consciousness.
Complex Partial seizures correct answers >>
seizures which impair LOC. They usually begin with a
single partial seizure, then spread to a larger portion of
the temporal lobe. may include motionless staring,
automatic movements of the hands or mouth, inability to
respond, unusual speech, or other unusual behaviors
Deep brain stimulation correct answers >>
neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a
medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends
electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to
GRADED A+
