[Petit mal status epilepticus with unusual clinical manifestations]. 1980

O N Savitskaia, and V A Karlov, and M A Gleĭzer, and E E Pmotskaia

A unique observation of an epileptic female examined in detail in a neurological clinic is presented. The patient was later hospitalized 3 times for disturbances of consciousness and extrapyramid disorders characterized by acute onset. An encephalographic examination carried out during such a state showed an epileptic status of atypic absence. The development of the Parkinsonian syndrome is regarded as a proof of the role of the caudate nucleus in the genesis of the petit mal epileptic status.

D010302 Parkinson Disease, Secondary Conditions which feature clinical manifestations resembling primary Parkinson disease that are caused by a known or suspected condition. Examples include parkinsonism caused by vascular injury, drugs, trauma, toxin exposure, neoplasms, infections and degenerative or hereditary conditions. Clinical features may include bradykinesia, rigidity, parkinsonian gait, and masked facies. In general, tremor is less prominent in secondary parkinsonism than in the primary form.

D013226 Status Epilepticus A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity.
