| generalised tonic-clonic seizure | <neurology> A type of seizure that results in loss of consciousness, generalised muscle contractions, urinary incontinence, tongue biting and a post-ictal state (confusion and lethargy) following cessation of the seizure. Synonym: grand-mal seizure. See: epilepsy. (03 Jul 1999) |

| secondarily generalised tonic-clonic seizure | A generalised tonic-clonic seizure that begins with a partial seizure and evolves into a generalised tonic-clonic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tonic-clonic seizure | <neurology> A type of seizure that results in loss of consciousness, generalised muscle contractions, urinary incontinence, tongue biting and a post-ictal state (confusion and lethargy) following cessation of the seizure. Synonym: grand-mal seizure. See: epilepsy. (03 Jul 1999) |
| epilepsy, tonic-clonic | Primary generalised epileptic seizures, starting without warning, characterised by loss of consciousness, tonic contraction of muscles, loss of postural control, and production of a cry by the forced expiration of air due to contraction of the respiratory muscles. The individual then falls to the floor and remains rigid for a few seconds, after which a series of rhythmic contractions occur in all four limbs. This clonic phase can last for a variable period, ending only upon muscle relaxation. Upon recovery, there is a gradual return to consciousness, disorientation, amnesia for the seizure, sometimes retrograde amnesia as well, headache, and drowsiness. The individual may not return to baseline functioning for days. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mimic convulsion | Involuntary twitching of the facial muscles, sometimes unilateral. Synonym: Bell's spasm, convulsive tic, facial spasm, histrionic spasm, mimic convulsion, mimic spasm, mimic tic, palmus, prosopospasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complex febrile convulsion | A febrile convulsion that is prolonged (greater than 15 minutes' duration) or is associated with focal neurological deficits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convulsion | <neurology> A violent involuntary contraction or series of contractions of the voluntary muscles. Origin: L. Convulsio, from convellere = to pull together (18 Nov 1997) |
| coordinate convulsion | A clonic convulsion in which the movements are seemingly purposeful, being exaggerations of those that may occur naturally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hysterical convulsion | See: hysteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immediate posttraumatic convulsion | A convulsion beginning very soon after injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infantile convulsion | Any convulsion occurring in infancy (0 to 2 years of age). (05 Mar 2000) |
