Febrile Convulsion
A seizure is a neurological event where there is a synchronous discharge of many neurons. Each individual has a ‘threshold’ at which their neurons will begin to do this. It is thought that this threshold is at least partly genetically determined. This threshold can be affected by: External stimulation – e.g. flashing lights Cerebral injury

To the neurology/neurosurgery avids, those who just can't get it and others
Hi guys, my name is Angela! I am currently an F2 doing a year in Australia! My key interest is neurosurgery and as a neurosurgery SHO now in Adelaide, I thought I'd start a blog on a few neurosurgery/neurology issues I encounter regularly on the wards. This is aimed to help all medical students studying neurology/F1/SHO in neurosurgery. Few topics could include:
Basic management of neurosurgery/neurology patients - the neurology exam
Ophthalmology exam and lesion representation
Understanding GCS
Raised intracranial pressure
Acute head injury
Seizure management
Cauda equina
Headaches
Decreased conscious level
Cord compression
Electrolytes imbalance in the neurosurgical patient
Fluid management in the neurosurgical patient
Acute meningitis
Any thoughts/comments?
