What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of A Seizure Disorder?
Question: my husband will bend his head over and his eyes are closed. He does this a lot during the day.
Brief Answer:
We need to exclude a seizure or a movement disorder.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your husband's clinical details. Based on this, we need to exclude a seizure disorder or a movement disorder.
Seizures such as myoclonic jerks can cause similar symptoms. Also, certain movement disorders such as dystonia can lead to similar symptoms.
After a careful clinical examination, further tests would include MRI of brain and EEG (electroencephalography). If possible, please upload a small video showing the abnormal movements and the reports of MRI brain and EEG.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
