Also known as seizure, fit, fits, convulsions, seizures
A convulsion is a medical condition where the body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in uncontrolled shaking. Because epileptic seizures typically include convulsions, the term convulsion is often used as a synonym for seizure. However, not all epileptic seizures result in convulsions, and not all convulsions are caused by epileptic seizures. Non-epileptic convulsions have no relation with epilepsy, and are caused by non-epileptic seizures.

驚厥（convulsion）又稱抽搐（chù）、搐搦（nuò），俗称抽风、驚風，是一种身体肌肉突然快速、反复、可能有节奏的收缩及放松，导致不受控制的抖动之医学症状，且常為“全身抽搐”以及常合併意識喪失。雖常與癲癇發作互換使用，但並不是所有的癲癇發作都會呈現驚厥，且有些人症状轻微，没有抖动。 “抽搐”只是一种症状，其仅意味着支配肌肉的神经组织偶尔会出现过度且无序的放电，这种放电有各种强度且可发生在：各种身体状况欠佳的情况下、所有年龄层、在无数原因不明情况下。“全身性抽搐”（generalized convulsion）或称广泛性抽搐，则多指脑部神经细胞活动受到干扰，导致肌肉不由自主地收缩、痉挛，造成身体突然、剧烈、不规则、不受控的运动。 中醫和西醫所指的驚厥略不同，主要指發於一至五歲小兒的小兒驚厥，是一種。它會和其它許多疾病同時發生，導致兒童抽搐和神志障礙。發病率隨著年齡的增加而降低。
