Absence epileptic syndrome. Generalized seizure that manifests in a form of a brief episode of impairment of consciousness with or without accompanying motor phenomena such as clonic-tonic components, automatisms, or autonomic components. The seizure seen in absence epilepsy, consisting of a sudden momentary break in consciousness...
Juvenile absence epilepsy is characterized by the juvenile onset of absence seizures and an increased incidence of myoclonus and tonic-clonic seizures. (menkes, textbook of child neurology, 5th ed, p736) Epilepsy characterized by very brief episodes of sudden cessation of activity, usually associated with eye blinking.
Absence seizures are a type of epilepsy, a condition that causes seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal brain activity. These mixed messages confuse your brain and cause a seizure.

However, there are also codes available for petit mal status (345.2) and grand mal status (345.3). Status epilepticus indicates a state of continuous seizure activity lasting for a significant amount of time or having frequent recurrent seizures without regaining full consciousness in between them.
3 Generalized idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes.
Juvenile absence epilepsy is an idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome that is recognized by the ILAE (International League Against Epilepsy) that typically starts in adolescence around puberty and is characterized by absence seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Absence seizures. This kind of seizure will only last a few seconds, and the person experiencing it will typically not realize that they even had it. Absence seizures do not require any intervention. Just stay calm, and once the seizure is over, treat the person as you normally would.
If you document the word “seizure”, the patient will be coded with R56. 9, unspecified convulsions, even if you meant that the patient has epilepsy. If you document “seizure disorder” or “recurrent seizures”, the patient will be coded with G40.

There are four main types of epilepsy: focal, generalized, combination focal and generalized, and unknown. A doctor generally diagnoses someone with epilepsy if they have had two or more unprovoked seizures. Medication is the most common treatment, and two-thirds of adults with epilepsy live seizure-free because of it.
Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. SE is defined as a continuous seizure lasting more than 30 min, or two or more seizures without full recovery of consciousness between any of them.
A seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minutes period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes is called status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death.
Every code blue call for seizure or seizure-like events was identified.
