Introduction: Status epilepticus is defined as the presence of a convulsive crisis lasting more than 30 minutes, or the presence of several sub-entering seizures without recovery of consciousness between them (FONSECA, et al., 2022).Objective: Gather information about the neuronal damage present in status epilepticus.Result: This state has a great capacity for neuronal damage, generating definitive sequelae or not.The period in which neuronal damage begins is not exactly known, but studies in primates reveal that cytoarchitectural changes begin to be identified after 60 minutes of uncontrolled seizures (BLAKA et al., 2022).Conclusion:The possible sequelae are diverse, such as dysfunction of higher functions, such as cognition, and lower functions, such as motor control, balance and proprioception (DE CASTRO, 2021).
PICK'S DISEASE IN FRONTOTEMPORAL ATROPHY – LITERATURE REVIEW
(2024) Alicia Viviana Méndez; Adrian Emanuel Rosales Mendez; Bianca Aparecida Gonçalves; André Luiz de Jesus Mendes; Camila Bruck de Siqueira
Introduction: Pick's disease is a health condition that affects younger people compared to Alzheimer's disease, occurring in individuals under 65 years of age and, therefore, a difficult diagnosis for the patient and their family (GONALVES S, et al., 2019). Objective: Review the relationship between frontotemporal atrophy and Pick's disease. Result: Pick's disease is a rare neurodegenerative condition that affects younger people and is characterized by disinhibited behavior, irritability, and initial preservation of some cognitive functions. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and changes in brain imaging, and, unfortunately, there is no definitive treatment available at this time
PROGRESSIVE SUPRANUCLEAR PALSY AND DEMENTIA – LITERATURE REVIEW
(2024) Alicia Viviana Méndez; Janeide Albuquerque Cavalcanti; Adrian Emanuel Rosales Mendez; Maria Clara Dias Coelho Menezes; Rafael Batista Gontijo
Introduction:Progressive supranuclear palsy is a degenerative disease of the brain, basal ganglia and brainstem, which progressively impairs voluntary eye movements and causes bradykinesia, muscle rigidity with progressive axial dystonia, pseudobulbar palsy and dementia (Hglinger GU, et al, 2017).Objective: Review the relationship between progressive supranuclear palsy and dementia.Result: The first symptoms may be difficulty looking up or down without moving the neck or difficulty going up and down stairs.Movements become slow and axial dystonia develops and patients tend to fall backwards.Repeated falls are common due to postural instability (Hglinger GU, et al., 2017).Conclusion: Dysphagia, dysarthria with emotional lability (pseudobulbar palsy), depression, and disordered sleep are common.Resting tremor may develop.Eventually, dementia occurs.Many patients become disabled within about 5 years and die within approximately 10 years (Adachi M, et al., 2004).
