While all patients with epilepsy experience seizures, not all individuals with seizures have epilepsy. One or more
epileptic seizures may occur in the context of a brain insult (systemic, toxic, or metabolic). These events (defined acute symptomatic seizures, provoked seizures, or situation-related seizures) are presumed to be an acute
manifestation of the insult and may not recur when the underlying cause has been removed or the acute phase
has elapsed.
