Over 40 Different Types Of Seizures.......
Sat, 05/06/2006 - 23:47It has been said repeatedly that there are over 40 different types of seizures with more or less only the most 'popular' listed. Let's see if we can locate the ones that aren't. These types of seizures affect someone and I feel need to be noted. I'm curious to see how many can be located. Anyone interested in helping me find them, please list what you find here along with their description. Thank you! Take care and have a good day!

I hadn't seen this before Spiz.. interesting task! Defining lots of terms! Would be interesting to split the terms into seizure types, syndromes, causes or other neurological problems that seizures are associated with ... I find that many times people get confused this way. If people are interested in continuing this task or helping with other definitions, I can look into how we can do this more easily.
Let me know your interest!

I've heard aura's are pretty commom with seizures. I've read people have the same type of seizure symptoms with a certain pattern. You said it was terrifying and that may sound like a panic attack but others with seizures have this aura feeling of complete doom coming on. The 72 hr EEG might possibly give you more answers.
