Histidinemia

Histidinemia is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by elevated histidine levels in blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid, generally with no clinical repercussions.

Seizure

Seizures are an intermittent abnormality of the central nervous system due to a sudden, excessive, disorderly discharge of cerebral neurons and characterized clinically by some combination of disturbance of sensation, loss of consciousness, impairment of psychic function, or convulsive movements. The term epilepsy is used to describe chronic, recurrent seizures.
