Definition
a seizure involving the entire body
characteristics- muscle rigidity, violent rhythmic muscle contractions, and loss of consciousness.
caused by abnormal electrical activity in the nerve cells of the brain.
Alternative Names

Causes
may occur in people of any age,
generally occur as just a single episode
caused by abnormal electrical activity at multiple locations in the brain and/or over a large area of the brain.  loss of consciousness and body stiffening( followed by shaking of the arms and legs)
Abnormal electrical activity may start in one part of the brain and cause isolated symptoms (see partial seizures). Sometimes this abnormal electrical activity spreads through the brain, resulting in a generalized seizure. Seizures can be caused by a specific area of the brain that is injured or inflamed, or they can be due to stress on the brain from a more widespread systemic process, such as severely low blood sugar.
Some of the more common causes of seizures include:
•idiopathic (this means the seizure has no identifiable cause)
•usually beginning between ages 5 and 20
•can occur at any age
•no other neurologic abnormalities present
•often a family history of epilepsy or seizures
•congenital defects (present from before birth) and perinatal injuries (occur near the time of birth)
•seizures usually beginning in infancy or early childhood
•febrile seizure (in children)
•usually due to rapidly rising fevers in children
•Systemic illness
•acute severe infections of any part of the body
•chronic infections (such as neurosyphilis)
•complications of AIDS or other immune disorders
