Jacksonian Seizure
Jacksonian March

Presentation

Complete diagnostic studies are indicated in patients presenting with sensory Jacksonian seizures because of the frequency of related focal pathology. [thejns.org]

Rightfully so, for it was from the study of such cases that cortical localization began and the way was paved for the present knowledge of cerebral cortical physiology. [jamanetwork.com]

In these individuals, seizures most likely result from lesions present in the cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Falling

    Nocturnal frontal lobe seizures typically occur throughout the night, and more frequently within half an hour of falling asleep or awakening. [epilepsydiagnosis.org]

    Rigidity Loss of consciousness The patient may fall to the ground and may sustain injuries as a result of the fall. The patient may appear to have stopped breathing. Patient may appear cyanosed or blue. [healthhype.com]

    Myoclonic Jerking movements of the body or limbs Benign myoclonus occurs in healthy people, e.g. a ‘jumping’ sensation whilst falling asleep. Stay with the person to reassure them. [ewct.org.nz]

    After regaining consciousness, you might feel confused and fall asleep. Generalized absence. This involves loss of consciousness and blank stares or eyelid fluttering for 10 to 30 seconds. [webmd.com]

  • Weakness

    For example, migraine can also have hemibody weakness or sensation changes. Patients with stroke can have one side of body weakness or numbness/tingling as well. [epilepsy.com]

    Complicated migraine is migraine with focal neurologic symptoms: weakness, tingling, or numbness on one side of the body or the other that can precede, accompany, or follow the actual headache. [mdedge.com]

    Jacksonian Seizure ) Cognitive or Personality Changes (52%) Memory loss and decreased alertness and attention Focal Weakness (43%, initial symptom in 7.1%) Unsteadiness (initial symptom in 6.1%) Nausea or Vomiting (31%) Speech altered, especially expresive [en.mimi.hu]

    For example, there may be a tingling or weakness in one finger that quickly spreads to the entire hand in a matter of seconds. People that suffer from Jacksonian march seizures are usually not severely affected or disabled by them. [study.com]

  • Unconsciousness

    Makes you wish you were already unconscious. "You can't be having a seizure if you can respond to me." The assumption was that I had to be on illegal drugs. I have eleven different seizure types. [healingwell.com]

    For example, the patient may exhibit a number of automatisms, such as compulsively licking the lips, unconsciously fumbling with clothing, or engaging in rhythmic finger movements. [wisegeek.com]

    He came to reject the idea of the unconscious because he could not observe unequivocally unconscious behaviour at the bedside. [academic.oup.com]

    Background When you think of a seizure, you might think of a disturbing set of convulsions that renders someone unconscious and even a possible danger to themselves. But not all seizures are like this. [study.com]

  • Fever

    Two adults died of typhus fever and two of inflammation of the lungs. Dr. Townsend remarked that one of the children who died of dysentery was "killed by the use of astringent Roots." [projects.leadr.msu.edu]

    Depending on the age of the child, the doctor may order blood or urine tests or both, looking for the source of the fever. [emedicinehealth.com]

    Preceded by fever in children younger than 5, these seizures can be very brief tonic-clonic type seizures or partial seizures lasting more than 15 minutes. Most children who have a fever-induced seizure never experience a second seizure. [webmd.com]

    An isolated seizure with an obvious avoidable trigger, such as fever or toxic reactions, is treated by removing or treating the precipitating factor. An isolated seizure may not require treatment. [health.am]

Gastrointestinal

  • Overeating

    […] characteristic features of Jacksonian march are (1) it only occurs on one side of the body; (2) it progresses in a predictable pattern from twitching or a tingling sensation or weakness in a finger, a big toe or the corner of the mouth, then marches over [epilepsy.com]

Musculoskeletal

  • Fracture

    Yet less than a decade later, sectional contests linked to slavery promised to drown out that debate and fracture both major parties. In large measure, that turnabout derived from the racial exclusiveness of the Jacksonians’ democratic vision. [history.com]

    Drugs are given to prevent seizures if head injury causes significant structural injury (eg, large contusions or hematomas, brain laceration, depressed skull fracture) or if a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is < 10. [merckmanuals.com]

    Head injuries with skull fractures, intracranial hemorrhages, focal neurologic deficits, or amnesia cause posttraumatic epilepsy in 25 to 75% of cases. [meta-religion.com]

Psychiatrical

  • Euphoria

    Seizures arising from sensory regions or areas responsible for emotions and memory may produce olfactory, visual or auditory hallucinations, feelings of déjà vu or jamais vu, fear, panic or euphoria. [patient.info]

    […] or responsiveness, i.e. alteration of consciousness.[11][6] Presentation Complex partial seizures are often preceded by an aura.[12] The seizure aura is a focal aware seizure.[12] The aura may manifest itself as a feeling of déjà vu, jamais vu, fear, euphoria [en.wikipedia.org]

    They are also referred to as “focal motor seizures with elementary clonic motor signs” ( Engel 2006a ; Engel 2006b ), “clonic seizures,” “simple motor seizures,” or “somatomotor seizures” ( Luders et al 1998 ). [medlink.com]

    The origin of sensory Jacksonian seizures, in contrast to motor Jacksonian seizures, often began at peripheral sites with little cortical representation. [thejns.org]

  • Stroke

    And stroke is an episode with such evidence," she explained. [mdedge.com]

    You’re more likely to have a seizure if you’ve had a severe stroke, a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) or a stroke in part of the brain called the cerebral cortex. [stroke.org]

    Lo and behold, I had also had a stroke. Most of the stroke was in the parietal lobe just next to where the seizure activity was. Since then, I have learned that many times stroke results in seizure activity. Something I didn't know before. [healthquestions.medhelp.org]

    However, healthcare professionals must rule out other possibilities like migraine,*capsular warning syndrome, or stroke. [study.com]

Workup

Important to get a work up in addition to your thyroid workup. Could it be some sort of interaction, or have I finally parted with what's left of my sanity? ___________________ ___________________ Dear Giselle, No, you are not crazy. [healthquestions.medhelp.org]

This requires extensive workup with detailed brain imaging and EEGs. A neurosurgeon will then surgically remove the area of the brain that is causing the seizures. This is called epilepsy surgery. [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Treatment

Other conditions that look like Jacksonian march seizures are: migraines capsular warning syndrome stroke Treatment Treatment varies depending on the severity. Often the seizures are so mild that treatment is not necessary. [study.com]

Treatments If the condition is caused by a brain lesion that is treatable, surgery may be the best treatment option. Anti-seizure medications are a common treatment used for Jacksonian seizures. [cedars-sinai.edu]

Continuation of drug treatment[1, 2] Maintain a high level of vigilance for adverse effects of treatment. [patient.info]

Treatment of the causes may stop the seizures. This may include medication, surgical repair of tumors or brain lesions, and other treatments. [health.am]

Prognosis

It is important to know if the seizure fits into a particular type of epilepsy or epilepsy syndrome in order to decide treatment and determine prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis: temporal lobe spikes on EEG Treatment Pharmacotherapy: e.g., lamotrigine or levetiracetam Possible surgical treatment in cases of medication resistance Prognosis: unfavorable (only 40% of patients on pharmacotherapy remain asymptomatic) Frontal [amboss.com]

Expectations (prognosis) The outlook is largely determined by the underlying cause of the focal seizures. [health.am]

What Is the Prognosis for Seizures in Children? The prognosis for children with seizures depends on the type of seizures. Most children do well, are able to attend regular school, and have no limitations. [emedicinehealth.com]

Benign febrile convulsions do not require treatment because of the favorable prognosis compared with the potential toxic effects of anticonvulsants in a young child. [meta-religion.com]

Etiology

Occipital lobe epilepsy Epidemiology: rare Etiology: See "Etiology" above. [amboss.com]

Etiology Etiology of seizures can sometimes be difficult to find. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ABSTRACT Central pain of epileptic etiology is very rare. The frequency of painful sensations in epileptic seizures varies between 0.3 and 2.8%. We report a patient with short-lasting painful attacks in the right arm. [ejbps.com]

Risk factors: 50% are ideopatic (etiology unknown), birth trauma, genetic factors (run in family), 5% of children with febrile (high fever) seizures develop epilepsy, physical or chemical trauma to the brain. 90-95% of patients are diagnosed before 20 [scarletline.com]

Prevention

Multiple, repeated seizures are usually treated with anti-seizure drugs such as phenytoin or carbamazepine for preventive, long-term use. Follow-up includes review of the need for drugs and monitoring for side effects. [health.am]

Treatment of Seizure The main aim of treatment is to prevent recurrence. Determining the cause of the seizure and treatment of causes such as infection or injury can prevent recurrence. [healthhype.com]

However, no evidence suggests that such treatment of complicated febrile seizures prevents the development of recurrent nonfebrile seizures (epilepsy). [meta-religion.com]

You can’t always prevent seizures, but you can control them with medications. If you’re on a medication for this purpose, take it as instructed by your doctor and don’t miss doses. [healthline.com]
