series of seizures

Most seizures do not last longer than a few minutes. If a seizure is prolonged or if there is a series of seizures over a period of time during which the person does not regain consciousness, this is referred to as status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

neutral Anne Schulz : Wouldn't that be basically the same as just "seizures", and not say anything about the frequency or time course?

serial epilepsy

or: serial seizures
or: cluster attacks

"Status Epilepticus should be distinguished from serial epileptic attacks, (also known as closely-spaced seizures or cluster attacks).
In serial epilepsy although attacks are very frequent, the person recovers consciousness in between attacks. It is not associated with the same risks as status, in which the attacks occur in such rapid succession that recovery of consciousness between the episodes does not occur."
