Abstract
Las epilepsias y los síndromes epilépticos son muy frecuentes en Medicina Veterinaria. Más del 10% de todos
los casos neurológicos examinados corresponden a perros convulsivos. Las clasificaciones de las epilepsias
y los síndromes epilépticos son imprescindibles para establecer un marco conceptual. Sin embargo, por su alta
frecuencia y su diversidad etiológica, es preciso establecer una definición de epilepsia más práctica, que permita
tomar decisiones terapéuticas en beneficio del paciente. En este trabajo se analizaron las definiciones sugeridas
actualmente en Medicina Humana y, a partir de ellas, se elaboró una propuesta similar aplicable en Medicina
Veterinaria. El objetivo de esta propuesta es definir la epilepsia de forma práctica en un contexto clínico operativo
para facilitar su reconocimiento precoz y posibilitar la elaboración de un protocolo de trabajo que contribuya
a la toma de decisiones en el manejo integral de los pacientes con crisis epilépticas.
ABSTRACT: Epilepsies and epileptic syndromes are very common in Veterinary Medicine. Over 10% of neurologic cases match with convulsive dogs. The classification of epilepsy and epileptic syndromes is essential to establish a conceptual framework. However, considering their high frequency and etiologic diversity, it´s necessary to define epilepsy in a more practical way, which makes it easier to take decisions in benefit of the patient. In this work have been reviewed definitions of Human Medicine, and a similar proposal was drawn up to apply in Veterinary Medicine. The object of this proposal is defining epilepsy in an easier way, in an operational clinical context, to optimize the early recognition, and enable a working protocol which contributes to take decisions in the comprehensive management of epileptic patients.
