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).
Seizures are symptoms of a brain problem. They happen because of sudden, abnormal electrical activity in the brain. When people think of seizures, they often think of convulsions in which a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. Not all seizures cause convulsions. There are many types of seizures and some have mild symptoms. Seizures fall into two main groups. Focal seizures, also called partial seizures, happen in just one part of the brain. Generalized seizures are a result of abnormal activity on both sides of the brain.
