癫痫(epilepsy)是一组由已知或未知病因所引起,脑部神经元高度同步化且常具自限性的异常放电所导致的综合征。以反复性、发作性、短暂性、通常为刻板性的中枢神经系统功能失常为特征。由于异常放电神经元的位置不同,放电和扩散的范围不等,患者发作可表现为感觉、运动、意识、精神、行为、自主神经功能障碍或兼而有之。每次发作称为痫 Epilepsy (epilepsy) is a group of syndromes caused by anomalous discharges of highly-synchronized and often self-limiting brain neurons caused by a known or unknown etiology. It is characterized by recurrent, episodic, transient, often rigid, central nervous system dysfunction. Due to the different locations of abnormal discharge neurons, the range of discharge and diffusion range from patient seizures to sensory, motor, consciousness, mental, behavioral, autonomic dysfunction, or both. Each episode is called epilepsy
