What Wikipedia says

Absence seizures are one of several kinds of generalized seizures. Absence seizures are characterized by a brief loss and return of consciousness, generally not followed by a period of lethargy (i.e., without a notable postictal state). Absence seizures are most common in children. They affect both sides of the brain.
