graph and terms for types of epileptic seizures, simple descriptions of the different types of seizures, Hello. My name is Kerri Terminology used to describe epilepsy has evolved significantly over the years. For example, "Partial Seizure" is now referred to as "Focal Seizure," reflecting a more precise understanding of the condition. Similarly, "Grand mal" has been updated to "Generalized tonic-clonic," emphasizing the generalized nature of these seizures. This shift not only improves clarity among healthcare professionals but also enhances patient understanding and awareness of their condition.

epilepsy brain op pics and story. I've had five epilepsy surgeries and still need meds. MY STORY Craniotomy 1-3 & Cranioplasty 1-2 My family was there every day for a month. My mom slept in the hospital almost every night until she was kicked out by my daddy. My sisters would visit me after work & say, "Move over, Ker. I'm so tired." My Daddy taped my glasses to the pressure bandage My sisters and me My pressure bandage with EEG cables coming out a hole in the back. The 1st surgery, eight hours long, was the implantation of the leads on & inside the brain. They removed part of the skull & kept it frozen until the last surgery. They replaced it and used titanium screws to keep it in place Finally at home but still have my sutures and staples. I think this was after the fourth surgery. You meet great friends, too! EEG leads connected to my brain My staples in all their glory.
