An epileptic seizure is a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition. Here we report a case of Rolandic epilepsy or benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECTS), which is the most typical epilepsy, and the child presented with typical symptoms of active seizures in the form of uprolling of the eyes and jerky movements of the upper limbs.

Every hospital as a part of its plans, sets a policy to determine which unit provides personnel or code blue coverage. It is very essential for every staff nurse to have an adequate knowledge regarding the code blue protocol to reduce the mortality rate especially in critical care units. A comparative study was conducted to assess the knowledge on code blue protocol between general ward and critical unit staff nurses at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute. Materials and methods: Descriptive research design was used to conduct this study. Sixty nurses (30 general ward nurses and 30 critical care unit nurses) selected by purposive sampling technique, from the general ward and critical care unit includes medical ward, surgical ward, orthopaedic ward and gynaecological ward at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry. The data collected by semi structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge on code blue protocol. Results: In critical care unit nurses, knowledge mean score is 19.30 and the standard deviation is 3.36. In general ward nurses, knowledge means the score is 15.23 and standard deviation is 2.19. The findings show that statistically highly significant (p ≤ 0.000). Conclusion: The critical care nurses are having more knowledge about code blue than general ward nurses. Code blue call is the life threatening scenario where it should be known to every nurse who was working in both critical care units and general wards.

Disease may be a rare, progressive disease caused by blocked arteries within the basal gan glia at the bottom of the brain and form of cerebrovascular disease that begins with an obliterative vasculopathy and progresses to a compensatory proliferative vasculopathy. The term Moyamoya (MM) was coined by Suzuki and Takaku in 1969 to describe the appearance of small collaterals in the thalamus and traversing the basal ganglia due to progressive stenosis. In a young patient, Moyamoya disease is an arterial disorder that causes a stroke. This is a chronic condition characterized by bilateral stenosis and occlusion of the arteries surrounding the Willis circle, as well as prominent arterial collateral circulation. It was discovered in Japan for the first time. Classic angiographic findings of stenosis or occlusion of the circle of Willi's vessels are used to diagnose it. I describe a 9-year-old male child who was diagnosed with weakness at the age of 6-months. He had remitting slurred speech and right-sided facial droop for three weeks prior to this admission, and he had head trauma after falling from a tree. An electroencephalogram and a computed tomography (CT) of the head were used to assess him. After four days in the hospital, the child improved and he was discharged. The child's condition improved gradually as medications, physiotherapy, and speech therapy were continued, and parents were counseled about the child's condition, treatment, and management.
