Blume 2001 Convulsion: Primarily a lay term. Episodes of excessive, abnormal muscle contractions, usually bilateral, which may be sustained or interrupted. Engel 2001 Another change in terminology evident in this document is the omission of the words “convulsion” and “convulsive” in the list of epileptic seizure types and epilepsy syndromes. The Task Force thought that these are nonspecific lay terms, and at times improperly used. Consequently it was agreed to be consistent, not only in descriptive ictal terminology, but also in naming epileptic seizure types and syndromes, to avoid these terms. For instance, the Task Force is proposing that the term “febrile convulsions” be replaced by “febrile seizures.” |
