Other seizures
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy is the diagnosis when there is no known cause of the seizure disorder. Tests show normal brain structure and no nervous system abnormalities, except for the seizure activity itself. Most people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy have a family history of epilepsy and the seizures appear in childhood.
