Convulsions are sudden, uncontrolled muscle contractions and movements that can affect the whole body or a specific part of it. They are commonly associated with seizures, which are abnormal electrical discharges in the brain that disrupt normal brain function. Convulsions can vary in intensity and duration, ranging from brief, minor twitches to prolonged, intense jerking motions. The causes of convulsions are diverse and can include neurological conditions such as epilepsy, brain tumors, or stroke. They can also result from metabolic disturbances like low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), electrolyte imbalances, or dehydration. Other causes include high fever (especially in children, known as febrile seizures), head injury, infections affecting the brain (such as meningitis or encephalitis), and withdrawal from certain substances, including alcohol or drugs. In some cases, the cause of convulsions may not be immediately identifiable. Symptoms of convulsions include involuntary muscle contractions, twitching, jerking movements, loss of consciousness, and sometimes a brief period of confusion or disorientation after the episode. During a convulsion, a person may fall, bite their tongue, or experience difficulty breathing. The duration of convulsions can range from a few seconds to several minutes, and episodes may vary in frequency and severity. Treatment for convulsions focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing the convulsion itself. Immediate treatment during a convulsion involves ensuring the person's safety by protecting them from injury, such as moving sharp objects away and cushioning their head. It is important not to restrain the person or place anything in their mouth. After the convulsion, medical evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
For recurrent or chronic convulsions, such as those seen in epilepsy, antiepileptic medications may be prescribed to help control seizures. In some cases, additional treatments like lifestyle modifications, surgical interventions, or special diets (such as the ketogenic diet) may be recommended. If convulsions are triggered by a specific condition, treating that underlying condition is crucial. Prompt medical evaluation and ongoing management are important for reducing the frequency and impact of convulsions and improving overall quality of life.
