The marketing case study . method enables specifically to work on these two axes. Marketing

is a complex yet fluid field: multiple factors must be taken into accounting any

decision. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to quantify many of these factors, and

this makes the case method particularly suitable for education in marketing. The

case study method, more than any other, requires judgement and intellectual rigour,

analytical and decision-making skills: all these are essential in the field of

business. Answer all questions corectly.

Question 1

Does a delay in controlling seizures result in more frequent seizures and

a more resistant epileptic disorder? And, if so, does this apply to all

seizure types?

Question 2

What genetic tests are recommended for epilepsy and Huntington's

disease?

Question 3

Is it useful to take an electroencephalograph (EEG) after a patient's

first-ever seizure and, if so, when is the best time to do so? Would you

recommend taking an EEG after every seizure and before diagnosis?

Question 4

How often can drop attacks with loss of consciousness be due to atonic

fits in the absence of any other type of fit?

Question 5

How often are atonic fits the cause of falls with loss of consciousness in a

patient not suffering from any other type of seizure?

Question 6

Can mild anaemia (haemoglobin 10.8 g/dL) in a young female cause

syncopal attacks that are preceded by a sense of falling, followed by a

loss of consciousness and drowsiness for up to 1 hour? Do these data

favour complex partial seizures rather than syncope?

Question 7

I am confused between simple and complex partial seizures. Does the

loss of consciousness define complex partial seizures in an otherwise

what seems to be 'simple partial' clinically?

Question 8

What is the definition of accepted rather than complete control of

seizures in both partial and generalized tonic clonic seizures?

Question 9

In an otherwise normal adolescent patient with no history of drug or

alcohol intake, is it recommended that anti-epileptic drugs be started

after the first generalized tonic-clonic fit?

Question 10

D antiepileptic drugs decrease libido in the long term? If they do, what

treatment is recommended?
