How do petit mal seizures differ from grand mal seizures?

Grand mal epilepsy is a major seizure and petit mal epilepsy is a minor seizure. A grand mal epilepsy seizure is a seizure that causes a person to have a loss of consciousness, loss of muscle coordination and can cause loss of bowel and bladder. Petit mal epilepsy seizures may cause uncontrollable twitching or movement in a smaller part of the body. Both petit mal epilepsy and grand mal epilepsy seizures are caused by too much activity in the brain.

How many epileptic episodes can a person have in their lifetime?

It has been said that anyone is capable of having a seizure at some point in their life. Someone with epilepsy is someone who has recurring seizures. To then put a figure on how many they would have is impossible. Epilepsy comes in many forms and many levels of severity. Some people will have seizures every day. Others can go for weeks, months and even years between seizures. Epilepsy can start at any age and it can sometimes stop after a period of time. So taking all of these things into consideration, it is impossible to say how many seizures someone can have. Each individual is different.


How many types of epilepsy are there and what are the symptoms?

"SYMPTOMS OF GENERALIZED SEIZURES Generalized seizures affect all or most of the brain. They include petit mal and grand mal seizures. Petit mal seizures: * Minimal or no movements (usually, except for "eye blinking") -- may appear like a blank stare * Brief sudden loss of awareness or conscious activity -- may only last seconds * Recurs many times * Occurs most often during childhood * Decreased learning (child often thought to be day-dreaming) Tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures: * Whole body, violent muscle contractions * Rigid and stiff * Affects a major part of the body * Loss of consciousness * Breathing stops temporarily, followed by sighing * Incontinence of urine * Tongue or cheek biting * Confusion following the seizure * Weakness following the seizure (Todd's paralysis) SYMPTOMS OF PARTIAL SEIZURES (SIMPLE AND COMPLEX) Partial seizures may be complex or simple. Partial seizures affect only a portion of the brain. Symptoms of simple partial (focal) seizures may include: * Muscle contractions of a specific body part * Abnormal sensations * Nausea * Sweating * Skin flushing * Dilated pupils Symptoms of partial complex seizures may include: * Automatism (automatic performance of complex behaviors without conscious awareness) * Abnormal sensations * Nausea * Sweating * Skin flushing * Dilated pupils * Recalled or inappropriate emotions * Changes in personality or alertness * May or may not lose consciousness * Problems with smell or taste -- if the epilepsy is focused in the temporal lobe of the brain"

Why do people have epilepsy daily?

Epilepsy is the name of the condition, so anyone that has it all the time. Some get seizures daily, which is what you are referring to, and some people do not get seizures ever day, but still have epilepsy. Epilepsy comes in different forms and different levels of severity. So some people have it very serious and so they get seizures every day. Others may only get seizures every few days or every few weeks or every few months or even every few years. So the people who get seizures daily are the people who have a more severe form of epilepsy and have their seizures very regularly.


How do you know if seizures are controlled?

Many types of seizures are controllable with medication. The problem is that many are not. Most people with a chronic seizure condition (epilepsy) can have their seizures well controlled with medications, yet once in a while if they are ill or under extreme stress, they may have an occasional one. Other seizures are caused by medical conditions and are usually one of the symptoms of increasing illness. There are medications that can be given to control these seizures as well, but they are only truly resolved if the condition that caused them is resolved. The last kind are febrile seizures. They often occur in young children, only require medication if they are frequent, and the children often "grow out" of the condition as they mature. If you are having seizures, or know someone who is, please encourage a visit with a good doctor who can find the reasons for them and may be able to get them well under control.
