| idiopathic epilepsy |
Recurrent seizures of unknown origin or cause; repeated episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain that occur in the absence of detectable brain lesions. Also known as essential or primary epilepsy, these conditions are often thought to have a genetic component. This may suggest that affected individuals have an inherited predisposition for recurrent seizures.

| idiopathic epilepsy |
Idiopathic epilepsy is translated: epilepsy sui generis (by itself), which conforms to the original Greek meaning of the term idiopathic. This is in contrast to the common misuse of the term to mean cause unknown. The term idiopathic epilepsy should not be applied simply to any patient in which the cause of the seizures is unknown.
