epilepsy, generalized

Preferred Label : epilepsy, generalized;

MeSH definition : Recurrent conditions characterized by epileptic seizures which arise diffusely and simultaneously from both hemispheres of the brain. Classification is generally based upon motor manifestations of the seizure (e.g., convulsive, nonconvulsive, akinetic, atonic, etc.) or etiology (e.g., idiopathic, cryptogenic, and symptomatic). (From Mayo Clin Proc, 1996 Apr;71(4):405-14);

MeSH synonym : generalized epilepsies; epilepsies, generalized; seizure disorders, generalized; seizure disorder, generalized; generalized epilepsy; generalized seizure disorder; generalized seizure disorders;
