Term information
An adolescence-adult electroclinical syndrome statring between the age of ten to 17 years characterized by the occurrence of typical absence seizures.
This genetic/idiopathic generalized epilepsy is characterized by absence seizures that are not very frequent in an otherwise normal adolescent or adult. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures typically also occur. With absence seizures in a child aged between 8 and 12 years, a diagnosis of juvenile absence epilepsy or childhood absence epilepsy depends on the frequency of the absence seizures.
