a single episode of epilepsy often named for the type it represent
Epilepsy Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.[10][11] Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable to long periods of vigorous shaking.[1] These episodes can result in physical injuries including occasionally broken bones.[1] In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.[10] Isolated seizures that are provoked by a specific cause such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy.[12] People with epilepsy in some areas of the world experience stigma due to the condition.[1]
