crisis epilépticas en salvas

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general) neurology
En los servicios de urgencias hospitalarias, el médico que atiende a estos pacientes puede encontrarse con crisis epilépticas (CE) breves aisladas, CE en salvas, CE prolongadas o estados epilépticos (EE).

"En salvas" means a series or group of seizures. Is there a certain way of saying this in English?

Thanks in advance!

seizures in clusters

For many individuals, seizures are not randomly distributed in time. They cluster. A woman may go 4 weeks with no seizures and then have three in a 30-hour period. A child may awaken and have dozens of atonic seizures with head drops over 45 minutes and then not have another seizure for the rest of the day. A cluster is usually defined by the number of seizures over a period when compared to a baseline.

What is a Seizure?

In normal brain function, millions of tiny electrical charges pass from nerve cells in the brain to the rest of the body. A seizure occurs when the normal pattern is interrupted by sudden and unusually intense bursts of electrical energy which may cause strange sensations, emotions, behaviors or convulsions, muscle spasms and loss of consciousness. These unusual bursts are called seizures.

What is Epilepsy?

When a person has had two or more seizures which have not been provoked by specific events such as trauma, infection, fever or chemical change, he or she is considered to have epilepsy.
