Question

1. idiopathic epilepsy is:

associated with chorea
caused by trauma
without a known cause
associated with apoplexy

1. opisthotonos is frequently associated with:

encephalitis
hydrocephaly
meningitis
meningioma

Explanation:

Question 110

Idiopathic epilepsy is defined as epilepsy for which no clear cause can be identified. Chorea is a different movement disorder, trauma - related epilepsy is symptomatic (not idiopathic), and apoplexy (stroke) - related epilepsy is also symptomatic. So the correct option is the one stating "without a known cause".

Opisthotonos (extreme arching of the back) is frequently associated with meningitis, especially in cases of bacterial meningitis. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain, hydrocephaly is a condition of abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, and meningioma is a tumor of the meninges, and these are not as strongly associated with opisthotonos as meningitis.

Answer:

without a known cause (the option with this text)
