EEG shows centrotemporal spikes that are activated by sleep and an otherwise normal EEG background. (05 Mar 2000) |
| major epilepsy | tonic-clonic seizure |
| vasomotor epilepsy | Episodes of autonomic dysfunction presumably due to diencephalic irritation. Synonym: diencephalic epilepsy, vasomotor epilepsy, vasovagal epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
