Alcohol withdrawal seizures are one of the most serious symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Typically, they occur between six and 48 hours after ceasing to drink. They can be life-threatening and have a high mortality rate. The earliest signs of a seizure can be seen as early as 12 hours after the last drink. If the patient experiences more than two seizures, he or she should seek medical attention immediately.
These seizures are characterized by a rhythmical jerking or screaming, loss of consciousness, and uncontrollable convulsions. Some people may experience a groggy feeling after a seizure, while others will remain confused. In general, the tonic-clonic form of a seizure is the most common type, although there are other forms as well.
It is important to understand the pathophysiology of alcoholic seizures. Various ion channels contribute to intoxication, including N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. When the receptors are blocked by alcohol, the body compensates by releasing neurotransmitters.
Seizures are a form of brain damage that can be fatal. Alcohol-related seizures are more likely to occur during detox, particularly if the individual has a history of alcohol abuse or has recently detoxified from drugs or alcohol.
Emfit NZ Several studies have been conducted on the use of drugs for treating ethanol withdrawal seizures. While some of the results have been promising, more research is needed.
A variety of studies have been done in rodents to study the physiology of ethanol withdrawal seizures. Some findings suggest that the inferior colliculus (IC) plays a role. However, the IC does not appear to be an integral part of the neuronal network triggering seizures in humans.
