Paroxysmal Dyskinesia Instead of a Seizure? WebinarLIVE!
A cat or a dog suddenly turns stiff and falls over, or they exhibit sudden uncontrolled contractions of one or several limbs; Who does not think of a seizure immediately? That might be correct for many of those patients. However, we increasingly recognize a completely different group of diseases that may look the same: Paroxysmal Dyskinesias. Paroxysmal Dyskinesias are not associated with the typical hypersynchronized electrical brain activity, as seizures are. Hence, they must be treated differently. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the differences in clinical appearance of seizures and paroxysmal dyskinesias in order to recognize one or the other, to know that there are different diagnostic tests required and which drugs can be used.
