Epilepsinin Tanımı ve Tarihçesi
Özet
Epilepsi, tarih boyunca Mezopotamya ve Eski Mısır'dan günümüze uzanan, beyindeki elektrokimyasal faaliyetlerin düzensiz artışıyla karakterize nöronal bir disfonksiyondur. Antik çağlarda kutsal veya metafizik bir hastalık olarak görülen bu durum, Hipokrat ile birlikte rasyonalist bir temele oturtulmuş ve beyin işlev bozukluğu olarak tanımlanmıştır. Orta Çağ'daki dogmatik yaklaşımların ardından, 19. yüzyıldan itibaren Jackson ve diğer bilim insanlarının çalışmalarıyla modern epileptolojinin temelleri atılarak tanı ve tedavi yöntemlerinde büyük ilerlemeler kaydedilmiştir. Bugün ise gelişmiş görüntüleme ve EEG yöntemleri sayesinde epilepsinin etiyolojisi ve klinik belirtileri çok daha detaylı bir şekilde aydınlatılmaktadır.
