Answer to Question 2

In the aural phase a sensation or warning occurs, which the patient often remembers. This warning can be visual, auditory, gustatory, or visceral in nature. The prodromal phase of a seizure includes the signs or activity before the seizure such as a headache or feeling depressed. The ictal phase of a seizure is the actual seizure. The postictal phase is the period immediately following the seizure.
