Seizures Caused by Water-Electrolyte Imbalance and Epilepsy: Diagnosis and Therapy Problems
https://doi.org/10.14412/2074-2711-2014-1S-45-47
Abstract
Water-electrolyte homeostasis disorders (WEHD) are considered in two aspects: as a possible factor for inducing acute symptomatic seizures in WEHD patients and as a factor of disorder destabilizing in epilepsy patients. Etiological systematization of WEHD is presented. The fea- tures of brain injury, neurological disorders, and long-term prognosis in patients with acute hyponatremia are discussed. The diagnosis and therapy problems in patients with water-electrolyte homeostasis disorders are analyzed; a clinical case is reported.
