Top cause is low blood glucose from insulinoma, others are primary nervous
system diseases infection (bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral etc),
neoplasia (cancer), stroke, toxins, inflammatory causes, the list is
endless.
Depends on the cause, corn syrup initially then dextrose to stabilize and
finallly pred to maintain for insulinoma. Pred for inflammatory causes.
If seizure cause not determined we sometimes use phenobarbitol.
Yes I believe menigitis can be involved, because it is not always
exclusively spinal.
Hope this helps some, but you may find more answers in the archives.
