sources	Luders 1998 Axial Bilateral asymmetric, axial, and generalized. The terms bilateral asymmetric, axial, and generalized also refer strictly to the somatotopic localization of the clinical semiology. Bilateral asymmetric means that the symptoms occurred in a bilateral distribution but had a significant degree of asymmetry. The term suggests that the patient has a focal epilepsy. The modifier generalized is used when the manifestations occur in a relatively widespread distribution and there is approximately equal involvement of both sides and of the distal and proximal segments. The modifier “axial” is used when the manifestations involve predominantly the muscles of the trunk and the proximal muscles of the extremities. Usually patients who have axial or generalized seizures have generalized epilepsy. However, some patients with focal epilepsy may have axial or generalized seizures and, vice versa, patients with generalized epilepsies may have seizures that include significant focal elements. In other words, the relationship between clinical semiology and epileptic syndromes is not one to one.
