Question

A subtype of this condition initially presents with symptoms triggered by a high fever before one year of age and is known as Dravet syndrome. A symptom of this condition may begin in a small area before spreading outward in a “Jacksonian march” and is associated with spike-and-wave discharges. Patients with this condition can enter a postictal (10[1])state, (10[1])including those who experience a symptom classified as tonic–clonic. (10[4])Like with migraines, the major symptom of this condition may be preceded by (10[1])unusual sensory (10[1])perceptions known as (10[1])auras. This disease is characterized by instances of an event caused by bursts of electrical (10[1])activity in the brain, (10[1])which (10[1])can lead (10[1])to uncontrollable convulsions. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 points, name this condition in which patients (10[1])have recurring seizures. ■END■ (10[1])
