Atonic. Loss of muscle tone. Generalized Seizures. There are six types of generalized seizures. The most common and dramatic, and therefore the most well known, is the generalized convulsion, also called the grand-mal seizure. In this type of seizure, the patient loses consciousness and usually collapses.he loss of consciousness is followed by generalized body stiffening (called the tonic phase of the seizure) for 30 to 60 seconds, then by violent jerking (the clonic phase) for 30 to 60 seconds, after which the patient goes into a deep sleep (the postictal or after-seizure phase).
There are around 180,000 new cases of epilepsy each year. About 30% occur in children. Children and elderly adults are the ones most often affected. There is a clear cause for epilepsy in only a minority of the cases. Typically, the known causes of seizure involve some injury to the brain.
