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 mike
