grand mal epilepsy
Grand Mal Epilepsy, also known as tonic-clonic seizure, is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that involve both sides of the brain simultaneously. These seizures typically involve a sudden loss of consciousness, body stiffness (tonic phase), followed by muscle spasms or jerking movements (clonic phase). After the episode, the person may experience confusion, fatigue, and loss of memory for the event. The exact cause of grand mal epilepsy is often unclear but can include genetic factors, head trauma, stroke, brain tumor or infection, and certain neurologic diseases.
