Generalized-onset seizure
A generalized-onset seizure is a type of seizure originating at some point within, and rapidly engaging, bilaterally distributed networks. The networks may include cortical and subcortical structures but not necessarily the entire cortex. [ PMID:6790275 PMID:28276060 HPO:probinson PMID:23739099 PMID:20196795 PMID:28276064 ]

in 2017 the ILAE Commission for Classification and Terminology recommended classifying a seizure as having focal or generalized onset only when there is a high degree of confidence (over 80%, arbitrarily chosen to parallel the usual allowable beta error) in the accuracy of this determination. Classifying a seizure as having apparently generalised onset does not rule out a focal-onset obscured by limitations of our current clinical methods.
