As I understand it a petit-mal seizure
commonly results in a brief loss of
awareness and presents with few motior
manifestations.
A grand-mal seizure results in loss of
consciousness, generalized muscle
contractions, urinary incontinence,
tongue biting, and confusion and lethargy
following cessation of the seizure
