Petit mal seizure

obsolescent term for a cerebral seizure not manifested by tonic-clonic movements (i.e., grand mal); formerly thought to be the clinical manifestation solely of a 3-second spike in wave pattern, as seen on electroencephalography, but now known to be associated with several different EEG patterns.
