88 SECONDS on CLASSIFYING SEIZURES (Concisely explained!)

Seizure nomenclature can be confusing (or can be for me!) - hope this can help clear things up.
Important for aiding differential diagnosis to be able to classify a seizure from a history.
Old nomenclature that is still commonly used can add to confusion!
Grand mal = old name for a generalised, tonic-clonic
Petit mal = old name for a generalised, absence seizure
