#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
