215
epilepsy definition
international league against epilepsy 2017
216
3 types of myoclonic seizures
3-12yo: benign rolandic 12-18yo: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy progressive myoclonic
217
features of benign rolandic
face/ upper limb in sleep | associated with hypersalivation
218
features of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
upper body after waking
219
features of progressive myoclonic
myoclonic and tonic clonic | deterioration over time
220
things to remember about anti-epileptic drugs
only carbamazepine needs monitoring | discontinued after 2 years no seizure
221
types of generalised seizures and treatment
tonic clonic absence myoclonic treat with valproate
222
treatment of focal seizures
carbamazepine, lamotrigine
223
SEs of carbamazepine and lamotrigine
carbamazepine: rash, neutropaenia lamotrigine: SJS
224
management of status epilepticus
1. lorazepam IV/IO or Midazolam buccal 2. lorazepam IV/IO 3. Phenytoin
225
features of infantile spasm (West Syndrome)
sudden rapid contraction of trunk and limb muscles 5-10 seconds delay (psychomotor and growth) hypsarrhythmia
226
grades of intraventricular haemorrhage
1. bleeding just into germinal matrix 2. intraventricular bleeding (no enlargement) 3. intraventricular bleeding with enlarged ventricles 4. bleeding extends into brain tissue around ventricles
227
features of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)
bilateral multiple cysts periventricular white matter damage 80-90% risk of spastic diplegia (CP)
228
aetiology of IVH
changes in perfusion of delicate cellular structures in growing brain 1. ECMO 2. congenital CMV
229
Mx of IVH
- fluid resus - anticonvulsant - acetazolamide (reduce CSF) - ventriculo-periotoneal shunt (if hydrocephalus )
230
what is communicating hydrocephalus?
flow of CSF obstructed after it exits ventricles (failure to resorb CSF) e.g. meningitis, SAH
231
what is non-communicating hydrocephalus?
flow of CSF obstructed within ventricles = aqueduct stenosis e.g. Chiari, IVH, tumour
232
treatment of Tic
habit reversal therapy | ERP
233
Pathophysiology of DMD
deletion of dystrophin gene --> connects cytoskeleton to muscle fibres to ECM = myofibre necrosis

what is the genetic defect in myotonic dystrophy?
trinucleotide repeat disorder
235
what muscles does myotonic dystrophy affect?
smaller muscles > larger
