Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

B	Normal hearing
C	Abnormal electrical brain activity
D	All of the above

Question 2 Explanation:

A childhood disorder, in LKS there occurs gradual or sudden loss of ability to understand and use spoken language (auditory agnosia or “word deafness”). All children with LKS have abnormal EEG and may have epileptic seizures usually at night. Hearing tests show normal hearing

A	S. japonicum
B	S. intercalatum
C	S. haematobium

Question 5

Which of the following schistosomes is associated with associated with transverse myelitis ?

A	S. japonicum
B	S. mansoni

Question 6

Which of the following schistosomes belongs to the urinary species ?

A	S. japonicum
B	S. haematobium
C	S. intercalatum
D	S. mekongi

Question 6 Explanation:

CNS schistosomiasis occurs as Jacksonian epilepsy due to S. japonicum infection. S. mansoni & S. haematobium infections have been associated with transverse myelitis. S. haematobium infection leads to dysuria, frequency and hematuria

Question 7

A	Occur once regular feeding begins
B	Occur typically 2 - 3 days after birth
C	Idiosyncratic side effect to Valproic acid common
D	None of the above

B	Infants and children (>1 month and <12 years)
C	Adolescents (12 - 18 years)
D	Young adults (18 - 35 years)

Question 8 Explanation:

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency is an important cause of neonatal seizures.

Question 9

Febrile seizures have a peak incidence between ?

A	1 and 3 months
B	3 and 9 months
C	9 and 18 months
D	18 and 24 months

Question 9 Explanation:

Febrile seizures usually occur

Question 10

Febrile seizure is likely to occur during ?

A	Rising phase of temperature curve
B	Peak of temperature curve
C	Declining phase of temperature curve
D	Any of the above

Question 10 Explanation:

Febrile seizure is likely to occur during the rising phase of the temperature curve.

Question 11

Which of the following is false about complex febrile seizures ?

A	Duration > 15 minutes
B	Repeated seizure activity
C	Not associated with increased risk of developing epilepsy
D	Focal features

Question 11 Explanation:

Complex febrile seizures are characterized by repeated seizure activity, duration >15 minutes, or by focal features. Simple febrile seizures are not associated with an increase in the risk of developing epilepsy, while complex febrile seizures have a risk of 2 - 5 %.

Question 12

Primary epilepsy syndromes present during which of the following age groups ?

A	Neonatal period (<1 month)
B	Infants and children (>1 month and <12 years)
C	Adolescents (12 - 18 years)

A	Embolic stroke
B	Hemorrhagic stroke
C	Thrombotic stroke
D	All of the above

Question 13 Explanation:

Acute seizures occurring at the time of stroke are seen more often with embolic rather than hemorrhagic or thrombotic stroke. Chronic seizures are associated with all forms of stroke.

Question 14

Seizure disorder is not “idiopathic” in which of the following age groups ?

A	Neonatal period (<1 month)
B	Infants and children (>1 month and <12 years)

E	Nimusilide

Question 19

Which of the following antimicrobial / antiviral can cause epilepsy ?

A	Quinolones
B	Acyclovir
C	Ganciclovir
D	All of the above

Question 20

Which of the following antimalarials can cause seizure ?

A	Mefloquine
B	Quinine
C	Artemether
D	Halofantrine

Question 20 Explanation:

Antimalarials - chloroquine and mefloquine can cause seizure.

Question 21

Diseases due to ion-channel mutations “channelopathies” include ?

A	Episodic ataxia
B	Familial hemiplegic migraine
C	Long-QT syndrome
D	All of the above

Question 21 Explanation:

Ion-channel mutations “channelopathies” are characterized by paroxysmal episodes of neurologic or cardiac dysfunction, include episodic ataxia, periodic paralysis, familial hemiplegic migraine, and the long-QT syndrome.

Question 22

The initial bursting activity in seizure is caused by ?

A	Influx of extracellular calcium (Ca2+)
B	Opening of voltage-dependent sodium (Na+) channels
C	Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors
D	All of the above

Question 23

Hyperpolarizing afterpotential during seizure is mediated by ?

A	Influx of extracellular calcium (Ca2+)
B	Opening of voltage-dependent sodium (Na+) channels
C	Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors
D	All of the above

Question 23 Explanation:

Focal seizure activity can begin in a very discrete region of cortex and then spread to neighboring regions, i.e., there is a seizure initiation phase and a seizure propagation phase. The initiation phase is characterized by two concurrent events in an aggregate of neurons: (1) high-frequency bursts of action potentials and (2) hypersynchronization. The bursting activity is caused by a relatively long-lasting depolarization of the neuronal membrane due to influx of extracellular calcium (Ca2+), which leads to the opening of voltage-dependent sodium (Na+) channels, influx of Na+, and generation of repetitive action potentials. This is followed by a hyperpolarizing afterpotential mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors or potassium (K+) channels, depending on cell type.
