Question

seikos precious siamese cat, naya, suddenly began having strange facial twitching and drooling. seiko takes naya to see the veterinarian, who takes x - rays. the veterinarian explains to seiko while they are taking the x - ray that it sounds as if naya had a seizure. once the x - ray is developed, the veterinarian shows seiko a small tumor that seems to be putting pressure on nayas brain. this, the vet says, is most likely what caused the seizure. in nayas chart, what term will the veterinarian most likely use to describe nayas seizure?
symptomatic epilepsy
idiopathic epilepsy
generalized epilepsy
primary epilepsy

Explanation:

Symptomatic epilepsy is caused by an underlying brain - related problem such as a tumor. Since Naya has a tumor likely causing the seizure, this is symptomatic epilepsy. Idiopathic epilepsy has no known cause. Generalized epilepsy refers to the type of seizure spread in the brain, not the cause. Primary epilepsy is similar to idiopathic.

Answer:

symptomatic epilepsy
