Overview

The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History and Symptoms

  • The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

History

Patients with epilepsy may have a positive history of: Head trauma[1]

Brain tumor[2]

Brain hemorrhage[3]

Encephalitis[4]

Hypoglycemia[5]

Hypoxic encephalopathy[6]

Stroke[7]

Common Causes

Cerebral palsy[8]

Electrolyte disturbances[9]

Febrile Seizures[11]

Huntington's[12]

Intoxication[13]

Uremia[14]

less common causes
