In what ways can seizures be classified? - ANSWER: Clinical and electrographic
features
What is the incidence of new-onset seizures? - ANSWER: Approximately 80 per
100,000 per year
What euphemism has been frequently employed to avoid the term epilepsy? -
ANSWER: Seizure disorder
What is a simple partial seizure? - ANSWER: Consciousness is preserved; the
person is alert, can respond to questions or commands, and can remember what
occurred during the seizure.
What is a complex partial seizure? - ANSWER: Consciousness is altered or lost;
the ability to pay attention or respond to questions or commands is thus impaired
or lost.
What is a secondarily generalized seizure? - ANSWER: Partial onset seizures may
progress to secondarily generalized seizures ultimately involve motor activity on
both sides of the body and can be difficult to distinguish from primary generalized
seizures.

seizure onset
How long do focal to bilateral tonic clonic seizures typically last? - ANSWER: 1-3
minutes
What does an EEG show during a simple partial seizure? - ANSWER: EEG may
be normal, or show quite localized or lateralized abnormal rhythmic activity.
