Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
Myoclonic seizure	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
A type of self-limited focal epilepsy with onset typically between day two and seven of life. Seizures are focal tonic at onset, affecting the head, face, and limbs. Focal clonic or tonic seizures may evolve to bilateral tonic or clonic seizures. Onset may alternate between hemispheres. Autonomic features (apnea and cyanosis) are present in one third of seizures and may be the predominant manifestation. Seizure semiology may progress in a sequential pattern with tonic, clonic, myoclonic and autonomic features following each other without a single predominant feature. Clusters of seizures may occur over hours or days with the neonate behaving normally between events. Developmental progress is usually normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG) background is normal or has minor nonspecific abnormalities. Focal interictal epileptiform abnormalities can be seen in the central, centrotemporal or frontotemporal regions. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings. Pathogenic variants are seen in KCNQ2, KCNQ3 and SCN2A.	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
Retropulsion petit mal	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
Atonic seizure	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
A common type of self-limited focal epilepsy syndrome, which begins typically between four and ten years (peak is seven years; range three to twelve years). Seizures are focal, infrequent (most children have fewer than ten in lifetime), brief (typically less than two to three minutes) and occur mostly in sleep (eighty to ninety percent of children). Individuals may have frequent seizures over a few days or weeks and then several months before subsequent seizure. Focal seizures with characteristic frontoparietal opercular features and/or nocturnal bilateral tonic-clonic seizures are mandatory for diagnosis. Characteristic semiology includes somatosensory symptoms (unilateral numbness or paresthesia of the tongue, lips, gums and inner cheek), orofacial motor signs (unilateral tonic or clonic contractions), speech arrest (dysarthria or anarthria) with preserved understanding, and sialorrhea. Seizures may evolve rapidly to tonic-clonic activity of the ipsilateral upper limb, to an ipsilateral hemiclonic seizure, or to a focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. Todd paresis may occur postictally. Seizures occurring during sleep are seen within one hour of falling asleep or one to two hours prior to awakening. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG) background activity is normal. EEG must show centrotemporal biphasic epileptiform discharges which are characteristically high-amplitude complexes (less than 200 microvolts, peak to trough) that activate in drowsiness and sleep. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings.	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
Generalized-onset seizures	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
A type of epilepsy that presents with daily typical absence seizures usually between 4 to 10 years of age in an otherwise normal child. Absence seizures are brief but may occur in clusters and are provoked by hyperventilation. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram shows 2.5 to 4 Hz generalized spike-wave and a normal background.	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
Tonic seizure	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some
A type of epilepsy that presents with myoclonic epileptic seizures, usually between 10 and 24 years of age, in an otherwise normal adolescent or adult. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures occur in greater than 90 percent of individuals and absence seizures occur in a third. Seizures typically occur shortly after waking and when tired. Sleep deprivation is an important provoking factor. Photosensitivity is common. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram shows 3 to 5.5 Hz generalized spike-wave and polyspike-wave and a normal background.	Has definitional manifestation	False	Seizure	Inferred relationship	Some

Absence seizures present with a cessation of activity and impaired awareness associated with generalised spike and wave on EEG (electroencephalogram). An absence seizure is a generalised onset seizure and therefore, it originates at some point within, and rapidly engages, bilaterally distributed networks.
