Study Notes
Definities e Mechanismos Cellular de Generation de Crise
- Epilepsia es un gruppo de desordines neural que affecta circa 1% de la population mundial.
Classification Clinical de Epilepsia
- Acute symptomatic causes:
- Fluidos e electrolytos: Na+, Ca+, Mg+
- Disordines metabolic: coma diabetico, coma hipoglicemic, uremia, hipotiroidismo, alkalosis, deficiente de B6
- Medicamentos e toxinios
- Stroke e lesions cerebral
- Infectiones del sistema nervous central (CNS)
- Remote symptomatic causes:
- Lesiones cerebral traumatic
- Infectiones del CNS
- Tumoros cerebral
- Vascular malformations
Medicamentos que Pode Causar Crises
- Antibioticos: penicilinas, cefalosporinas, quinolonas, amphotericina, fluconazol, isoniazida, zidovudina
- Medicamentos cardiovascular: lignocaina (intravenosa), procaina
- Antidepressivos: antidepressivos triciclicos, litio, fenotiazinas, baclofeno, clozapina
- Antipsychoticos: cocaina, amantadina, antimuscarinicos
- Altres medicamentos CNS: metilfenidato, aminofillina, cafeina, teofillina
Factores de Precipitation
- Reflexly inducido: epilepsy photosensible
- Factores no specifics:
- Deprivation de sono
- Stress psicologic
- Ante menstruation
- Medicamentos estrogen
- Hipoglicemia
- Deficiente de B6
- Medicamentos psicotropic
- Desbalance electrolytic
Predictors de Mal Outcome (intractabilidad)
- Edad de inicio precoce
- Frequencia alta de crises
- Presencia de lesiones cerebral
- Mal resposta a tratamento
Caracteristicas Clinicas de Epilepsia
- (i) Crises partial
- Simple partial seizures
- Complex partial seizure (TLE, psychomotor)
- Partial seizure 2ry generalized
- (ii) Crises generalized
- Petit mal
- Grand mal
- Tonic seizure
- Clonic seizure
- Tonic clonic seizure
- Atonic seizure
- Myoclonic seizure
- (iii) Sindicatos de Crises Special
- Convulsiones febrils
- Spasmos infantiles (sindrome de West)
Anatomical Features of the Nervous System
- Le systema nervosa ha duo divisiones principal: le Systema Nervosa Central (SNC) e le Systema Nervosa Peripheric (SNP)
- Le SNC es le cerebro e le medulla spinal, ambe encapsulate in ossa (cranio e columna vertebral) con coverturas protective (meninges) e spatios de fluido (CSF)
Le Cerebro
- Le cerebro es circa 2% del peso total del corpore, contenente miliardos de neuronas (cellulas nervosas)
- Le cerebro es dividite in tres partes: cerebro, tronco cerebral, e cerebello
- Le cortex cerebral es dividite functionalmente e anatomicamente in lobes e areas de function specific
Le Cortex Cerebral
- Le lobo frontal: concernite se con le control del movements, contiene areas de motor, premotor, centro de parla, e areas de movimento oculare volontari
- Le lobo parietal: concernite se con le sensation, contiene areas de sensation cortical
- Le lobo temporal: concernite se con le audition, contiene areas de audition cortical
- Le lobo occipital: concernite se con le vision, contiene areas de vision cortical
Le Tronco Cerebral
- Le tronco cerebral consiste de tres partes: mesencephalo, ponte, e medulla
- Contiene structuras importante como nuclei de nervos cranial, substantia nigra, nucleus rubro, e formation reticular
- Le tronco cerebral es importante pro le control del movements, le somn, le conscientia, e le memoria
Le Cerebello
- Le cerebello es dividite anatomicamente in duo hemisferios que son connectite per le vermis
- Le cerebello es dividite functionalmente in tres divisiones: arcierebello (concernite se con le equilibrium), paleocerebello (concernite se con le tono muscular), e neocerebello (concernite se con le coordination de movements fines)
Le Medulla Spinal
- Le medulla spinal es un structura elongate, circa 42-45 cm longe in adultos
- Le medulla spinal es dividite in 31 segments, con duo enlargementos cervical e lumbar
- Le grey matter del medulla spinal consiste de 2 cornos posteriori "sensory" e 2 cornos anteriori "motor", con horns intermediolateral in le regiones thoracic e sacral
Le Systema Nervosa Peripheric
- Le SNP consiste de nervos cranial con lor nuclei, cellulas de hornero anterior (AHC), nervos spinal, nervos peripheric, junturas neuromuscular, e musculos
Organisation del Movimentos in le Systema Motor
- Le corticospinal tracto "tracto pyramidal, upper motor neuron"
- Le ganglios basal
- Le cerebello
- Le lower motor neuron
- Lesiones in le basal ganglia → akinesia o bradykinesia
- Lesiones in le cerebello → unsteady, hypotonia, ataxic movements
