Spreading of the epileptiform (seizure)discharge during complex partial seizures can result in secondary generalization(which means a partial seizure may spread within the brain-a process known as secondary generalization )with a tonic-clonic convulsion(generalized seizures).
so yes,complex partial seizures can become generalized.
The mechanism of how this happens is not fully understood in medicine but there are various explanations !!!
What else can I help you with?
How do you know when a seizure is going to start?
well, there are many types of seizures. if someone is having a grand mal, the person will become unconcious and either become stiff, jerk their body, or both. when someone has a simple partial seizure, you sometimes cant tell at all. but, when having a simple seizure, someones arm or leg will twitch or jerk. with a complex partial seizure, the person will become unconcious, and maybe jerk their body.
How can you tell that you had a seizure?
well, i have had two complex partial seizures in my whole life. when you have a partial seizure, you see an aura, or light that blocks your vision, and you sometimes become unconcious. i have not had a seizure for a very long time. if you have a grand mall seizure, you smell an intense smell or see something. your vision can become blurry. then, you usually become unconcious and start to become stiff or jerk your body. many people have seizures every day. and many people don't. seizures are symptoms of epilepsy.
How would you know if your dog has had a seizure?
They can do one or all of these things: Fall over and become disoriented, Their limbs will become stiff and rigid, They can drool and "chomp" ( keep hands out of a dogs mouth when it is having a seizure! They can have loose bowel and/or bladder control; twitch /shake/tremble uncontrollably. Sometimes a seizure can last for 10 seconds and sometimes it can last for 10 minutes. Some dogs will have "gran-Mal" seizures which is where they continue experiencing these symptoms over and over again with no rest or relief in between episodes.Dogs can remain almost completely still during an episode. The only clue that may key you in to the fact that they are having a seizure is that their eyes are moving back and forth very rapidly; their heads may twitch slightly and they may begin to vocalize such as grow; bark; whine or howl for apparently no reason. Seizures can be an indication of a number of different problems ranging from epilepsy; ear infections to something as serious as chemical poisoning. Get your dog to a vet as soon as possible. to make sure whatever is causing the seizures is not life threatening.
What does seizure mean?
Epilepsy (sometimes referred to as a seizure disorder) is a common chronic neurological condition that is characterized by recurrent unprovoked epileptic seizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication, although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. Not all Epilepsy syndromes are lifelong, for example some are confined to particular stages of childhood.
Steve, the seizures ?
Steve, the seizures that you had while using drugs shows that there is a propensity for you to have a seizure. Also, as I am sure you know, if someone is addicted to one substance, there is a very high likelihood that that person will become addicted to another substance of abuse. Alcohol has a high incidence rate of causing seizures, and they are life threatening seizures, and that is your doctor's concern for you.
