Wikipedia

  1. generalized seizure

    Generalized epilepsy is a form of epilepsy characterised by generalised seizures with no apparent cause. Generalized seizures, as opposed to focal seizures, are a type of seizure that impairs consciousness and distorts the electrical activity of the whole or a larger portion of the brain (which can be seen, for example, on electroencephalography, EEG). Generalized seizure occurs due to abnormalities in both hemispheres. Generalized epilepsy is primary because the epilepsy is the originally diagnosed condition itself, as opposed to secondary epilepsy, which occurs as a symptom of a diagnosed condition.Generalized seizures happened when there were abnormal activities in both hemispheres at the same time. Almost all areas of the brain are affected by electrical impulses.

    A generalized seizure is a type of seizure that involves both sides of the brain simultaneously. It's characterized by the loss of consciousness and control over various body parts. There are several types of generalized seizures, including tonic-clonic seizures, absence seizures, and atonic seizures. This type of seizure can impact anyone regardless of age or gender and can appear suddenly without any evident cause. Factors like brain injury, infections, genetic conditions, or metabolic disorders can initiate generalized seizures.
