Convulsive syndrome in children is a typical sign of epileptic seizures, spasmophilia, toxoplasmosis, inflammatory diseases of the brain and meninges (encephalitis, meningitis) and other diseases.
Migraine status - more pronounced and prolonged migraine symptoms compared to a normal attack. Migraine development is caused by a hereditary predisposition to inadequate regulation of cerebral vascular tone (spasm and subsequent vasodilation) in response to various external and internal environmental factors.
Acute polyneuropathy, or Guillain-Barré syndrome, is an autoimmune inflammation of the peripheral and cranial nerves, with damage to the myelin sheaths and the development of acute neuromuscular paralysis.
Cerebral edema is a universal non-specific reaction of the brain, characterized by disturbances in the water-ion balance in the neuron-glia-adventitia system.
Coma is a clinical condition caused by dysfunction of the central nervous system. As the severity of the dysfunction increases, it leads to the loss of the coordinating role of the central nervous system, which is accompanied by spontaneous self-organization of vital organs and functional systems. They, in turn, lose the ability to participate in the processes of homeostasis and homeoresis of the body's development. Loss of consciousness is a consequence of dysfunction of the reticular activating system and neurons of the brain, as well as dislocation of its structures.
Thyrotoxic crisis is a life-threatening complication of untreated or improperly treated thyrotoxicosis, manifested by severe multi-organ dysfunction and high mortality.
Hypercalcemic crisis is a life-threatening emergency condition diagnosed when the calcium level in the blood rises above 3 mmol/l (in full-term newborns - above 2.74 mmol/l, and in premature babies - above 2.5 mmol/l).
Hypocalcemic crisis is a condition characterized by increased neuroreflex excitability and attacks of tetany due to a persistent decrease in the level of calcium in the blood.
