Epilepsy and Etiopathogenesis in Dogs and Cats

Abstract

Epilepsy, which is frequently encountered in animals recently, is defined as a neurological disorder that causes seizures or unusual behavior, sensations, and loss of awareness. Epilepsy affects the well-being of patients in both human and veterinary medicine throughout their lives. Today, it is still not possible to explain exactly why epilepsy is formed. In this review given about the information on the etiopathogenesis of epilepsy, it will contribute to the development of its pathogenesis, and the full understanding of the pathogenesis of epilepsy will play a major role in the development of effective treatment and antiepileptic drugs.

Köpeklerde ve Kedilerde Epilepsi ve Etiyopatogenezisi

Abstract

Hayvanlarda son zamanlarda sıkça karşılaşılan epilepsi, nöbetlere veya olağandışı davranış, duyumlara ve farkındalık kaybına neden olan nörolojik bir bozukluk olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Epilepsi hem beşerî hekimlikte hem de veteriner hekimlikte hastaların hayatları boyunca refahlarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Günümüzde halen epilepsinin neden şekillendiği tam olarak açıklanamamaktadır. Bu derlemede paylaşılan epilepsinin etiyopatogenezine ilişkin bilgiler, hastalığın patogenezinin geliştirilmesine ve tam olarak anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunacak ve böylece etkili tedavi metotlarının geliştirilmesinde ve antiepileptik ilaçlar üzerindeki çalışmaların yoğunlaşmasında büyük rol oynayacaktır.
