引言

癫痫发作是大脑功能障碍所致的突发行为改变:

痫性发作是由大脑皮质神经元网络的超同步化放电所致。癫痫的特征为遗传决定或获得性脑部疾病所致反复痫性发作[1]。约0.5%-1%的人群有癫痫。

某些癫痫发作是被诱发的,也就是说它们发生在代谢紊乱、药物或酒精戒断及急性神经系统疾病(如,脑卒中或脑炎)的情况下。此类患者不会被考虑为癫痫,因为如果没有诱因的话这些癫痫发作可能不会复发。

非痫性发作(nonepileptic seizure, NES)指在行为上突然改变类似痫性发作,但没有痫性发作中特征性的典型神经生理改变[2-4]。

痫性发作的药物治疗是使神经元功能恢复正常,而NES的治疗是针对引起癫痫发作的疾病。因此,评估首次癫痫发作患者的首要目标是明确癫痫发作是由可治疗的全身性疾病过程导致,还是由中枢神经系统本身的功能障碍导致,如果是后者,则需明确基础大脑病理学性质。这种评估会决定患者将来再次出现癫痫发作的可能性,帮助决定是否开始抗癫痫药治疗,如果已知基础病因,则可针对基础病因进行适当的治疗[5,6]。
