#epilepsy  a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by loss of consciousness and convulsions
  supertype:  brain_disorder__braindisorder__encephalopathy__brain_disease__braindisease  any disorder or disease of the brain
  part:  epileptic_seizure
  subtype:  akinetic_epilepsy  epilepsy characterized by akinesia
  subtype:  cortical_epilepsy__focal_epilepsy__focalepilepsy  epilepsy in which the attack begins with an isolated disturbance of cerebral function (as a twitching of a limb or an illusory sensation or a mental disturbance)
     subtype:  Jacksonian_epilepsy  focal epilepsy in which the attack usually moves from distal to proximal limb muscles on the same side of the body
     subtype:  sensory_epilepsy__sensoryepilepsy  focal epilepsy initiated by somatosensory phenomena
  subtype:  grand_mal_epilepsy__grandmalepilepsy__generalized_epilepsy__generalizedepilepsy  epilepsy in which the attack involves loss of consciousness and tonic spasms of the musculature followed by generalized jerking
  subtype:  myoclonus_epilepsy__myoclonusepilepsy__Lafora's_disease  epilepsy characterized by clonus of muscle groups and progressive mental deterioration and genetic origin
  subtype:  petit_mal_epilepsy__petitmalepilepsy__absence  epilepsy characterized by paroxysmal attacks of brief clouding of consciousness (a possible other abnormalities)
     subtype:  complex_absence  petit mal seizure accompanied by other abnormalities (atonia or automatisms or vasomotor changes)
     subtype:  pure_absence__simple_absence  petit mal seizure without other complications; followed by 3-per-sec brain-wave spikes
     subtype:  subclinical_absence__subclinicalabsence  transient impairment of cortical function demonstrable only by 3-per-second brain-wave spikes
  subtype:  posttraumatic_epilepsy__posttraumaticepilepsy__traumatic_epilepsy__traumaticepilepsy  a convulsive epileptic state caused by a head injury
  subtype:  procursive_epilepsy  epilepsy in which a seizure is induced by whirling or running
  subtype:  psychomotor_epilepsy__psychomotorepilepsy__temporal_lobe_epilepsy  epilepsy characterized clinically by impairment of consciousness and amnesia for the episode; often involves purposeful movements of the arms and legs and sometimes hallucinations
  subtype:  reflex_epilepsy  a form of epilepsy in which attacks are induced by peripheral stimulation
     subtype:  musicogenic_epilepsy__musicogenicepilepsy  reflex epilepsy induced by music
     subtype:  photogenic_epilepsy  reflex epilepsy induced by a flickering light
  subtype:  status_epilepticus  a condition in which there are continuing attacks of epilepsy without intervals of consciousness; can lead to brain damage and death
  subtype:  tonic_epilepsy__tonicepilepsy  epilepsy in which the body is rigid during the seizure
