This Quick Study series is facilitated by McMaster’s Children’s Hospital.

Syllabus

  • Differentiate between focal and generalized epilepsies
  • Distinguish between absence seizures and focal seizures
  • Identify key clinical features that help to differentiate seizure types that manifest with non-motor semiology
  • Outline key features of focal and generalized onset seizure types with predominantly motor semiology (e.g., tonic, clonic, hyper motor)
  • Describe when to order appropriate neuroimaging protocols for patients with epilepsy
  • Recognize when to order further investigations based on EEG
  • Describe seizure types
  • Differentiate between seizures and epilepsy
  • Identify the semiology of epileptic seizures using standardized ILAE terminology and classification systems
  • Discuss the correlation between epilepsy and some neurocutaneous disorders
  • Identify clinical presentation and management of epilepsy in neurocutaneous disorders such as Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), neurofibromatosis type 1, and Sturge-Weber syndrome
