  1. epileptic seizure

    An epileptic seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, consciousness, or sensory perception. They are usually brief, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes, and can occur at any time. They are a primary symptom of epilepsy, a neurological disorder, but can also be triggered by other medical conditions such as high fever, low blood sugar, or alcohol withdrawal. Types of seizures vary, with some causing dramatic physical convulsions and others resulting in subtle, momentary lapses of awareness.
