Research Article: Seizure Remission and Its Predictors Among Epileptic Patients on Follow-Up at Public Hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Abstract:
Epilepsy is one of the common chronic neurological disorders with an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures., Focal onset seizures and generalized onset seizures are common operational classification of epileptic seizures. A focal seizure is a seizure that is confined to a specific area of the brain. Automatisms, behavior arrest, hyperkinetic, autonomic, cognitive, and emotional are the new types of focal seizures. The other types of seizures, such as atonic, clonic, epileptic spasms, myoclonic, and tonic seizures, can be of either focal or generalized onset. A generalized onset seizure affects the entire brain at the same time. However, as the classification of seizure is not exclusive, the classification considers the predominant seizure type., Differentiating between generalized and focal epilepsies is critical because it influences treatment options, investigations, prognoses, and counseling.
