Identifying the etiology of a new-onset seizure can be challenging due to the extraordinarily large number of differential diagnoses. Electrolyte disturbances, through a mechanism of disruption of neurotransmission within the central nervous system, are often implicated as a possible etiology in many cases of seizures. In this report, we describe the sequence of events related to a 68-year-old patient who suffered from convulsions precipitated by hypomagnesemia and the possible contributors to such a condition.
由于鉴别诊断的数量极其庞大，确定新发癫痫发作的病因可能具有挑战性。电解质紊乱通过破坏中枢神经系统内神经传递的机制，在许多癫痫发作病例中常被认为是一种可能的病因。在本报告中，我们描述了一名68岁患者因低镁血症引发惊厥的一系列事件以及导致这种情况的可能因素。
