<div>Generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS) is a type of convulsive seizure that occurs when both cerebral hemispheres are affected. These seizures may be spontaneous or provoked.<br /><br />These types of seizures may be triggered by infection, viral infections, autoimmune diseases, genetic conditions, and a variety of other factors. It is important to get medical attention if you are having a seizure, even if you don't remember having one. If your child is having a seizure, you should share your concerns with the school staff and emergency medical personnel.<br /><br />Symptoms include muscle stiffening and jerking, loss of consciousness, and a loud, shrill scream. The person experiencing a generalized tonic clonic seizure is usually confused and may bite their tongue or lose control of their bladder.<br /><br />While most generalized tonic clonic seizures are self-limited, a few people require emergency care. Other symptoms can include frothing at the mouth, dry throat, tongue biting, and urinary incontinence.<br /><br />Seizure treatment depends on the underlying condition and may include medication, a blood pressure cuff, and intravenous access. Some antiepileptic drugs can aggravate generalized tonic clonic seizures.<br /><br />Tonic-clonic seizures are classified by a specific set of clinical criteria. In addition, these seizures are associated with autonomic phenomena. During a tonic-clonic seizure, the person's muscles begin to jerk, causing a loss of consciousness.<br /><br />This is followed by a period of rest. People may also experience confusion, disorientation, and a loss of train of thought.
