Mr T, a 19-year-old engineering student with no previous medical history, was rushed to hospital after having what appeared to be an epileptic seizure.
Mr T follows a healthy daily routine – he exercises regularly, eats healthily and does not smoke or drink. He is currently preparing for a midsummer half marathon. The day before his seizure, he ran 25 kilometres.
On his return home after his run, he started feeling nauseous and complained of sudden headaches. During the night he vomited several times, became increasingly drowsy and complained of leg cramping.
The next day, Mr T’s roommate became particularly concerned when he then started speaking incoherently. This happened just before his seizure.
