Seizures, I think?
Subject: Seizures, I think?

In the assessment, this doc is saying allergic rhino sinusitis with **seizure nod-ur-ations**. I am not even real sure about the seizure part, and there was never anything said about seizures in the history. This is geriatric medicine visit and the only thing in history is about depression, past medical history of hyperlipidemia and allergic rhino sinusitis.


 


Thanks for any help! I know it's not much to work with.

absence seizure



a seizure characterized by impaired awareness of interaction with, or memory of, ongoing events external or internal to the person; may comprise the following elements: mental confusion, diminished awareness of environment, inability to respond to internal or external stimuli, and amnesia. (The term absence was first used by Louis-Florentin Calmeil (1798–1895) to introduce the concept of epileptic absence for the brief loss of consciousness or confusion seen in epileptic patients.)

And they are absent, not absence. But like I said, it's not pronounced like if you were saying the student was absent from school. It would be pronounced just like what you are hearing.
