The main symptom of epilepsy is repeated seizures. These are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affect how it works.

"convulsiones espasmos epilépticos" wouldn't make sense though.

: Hi Liz. Good guess ... but do you have ANY evidence that E/E stands for epileptic seizures? // It might be "espasmos epilépticos" as José Patricio suggests.

CONVULSIONS E/E
I'm guessing E/E refers to an electroencephalogram (EEG) - a recording of brain activity.
An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain
An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain
Example sentence:
EEG findings are a defining feature of familial partial epilepsy with variable foci, which manifests as temporal and extratemporal seizures;

Joseph Tein
: I thought of electro-encephalogram also, but again this is EEG and would never be E/E. Guesses aren't very useful.//I see your point :)

Guesses are BETTER THAN NOTHING, which is what was here when I posted. That's why we have the "just guessing" option, is it not?
