1.True or False. Tonic-clonic seizure is often accompanied by patient tongue-biting.
2. Among elderly patients, which of the following conditions is/are included for consideration in differential diagnosis for confusional episodes?
3. Which of the following sets of features suggests syncope rather than seizure?
5. True or False. A patient with epilepsy may have normal patterns on EEG.
Answer Key:
1. A. True - According to an article published in Neurologic Clinics, “[p]atients often bite their tongue during tonic-clonic seizures, a sign that is uncommon with syncope episodes.”
2. E. All of the above - According to information cited in Neurologic Clinics, among the conditions included in differential diagnosis of confusional episodes in elderly patients are transient global amnesia and transient ischemic attack, along with dissociative episode and other psychiatric causes.
3. B. Lightheadedness and nausea, then loss of consciousness, collapse, and loss of body tone - According to information cited in Neurologic Clinics, “[s]yncope is usually precipitated by standing or sitting and is often associated with dehydration; confusional episodes occurring while prone are more likely to be seizures. Seizures may be preceded by a brief aura, most commonly autonomic sensory symptoms, such as tingling or rising gastric sensations or by psychic sensations; syncope is more typically preceded by brief lightheadedness and nausea, which is followed by loss of consciousness, collapsing, and loss of body tone.”
4. B. 60% - According to data cited in Neurologic Clinics, “[a]bout 60% of people who have a single seizure will not have recurrence and, therefore, do not have epilepsy.”
5. A. True - According to information cited in Neurologic Clinics, “EEG helps confirm the clinical diagnosis of a seizure and is particularly important in evaluating unobserved unconscious episodes that may have been seizures,” but “many older patients have normal variant EEG patterns that are often misread as epileptiform discharges; a normal EEG does not exclude seizures and epilepsy.”
