Then, clinical consciousness, motor, sensory, mental or autonomic nerve dysfunction. The symptoms of secondary epilepsy are related to the location, range and intensity of discharge, so the manifestations are very complex. The onset of each attack was sudden.

Second: minor attacks. Belongs to sudden interruption of mental activity, patients will appear transient loss of consciousness, often accompanied by myoclonus or automatism. A few seconds to more than ten seconds. EEG showed slow spike or sharp slow wave 3 times per second.

Third: a major attack. The patient will suddenly have a loss of consciousness, and then a general spasm. The patients often accompanied with screaming, cyanosis, urinary incontinence, tongue bite, mouth foaming or blood foam, mydriasis. After lasting for tens of seconds or a few minutes, the spasm naturally stops and goes into a state of lethargy.

If the attack continues, has been in a coma state, said the big attack continued state, often dangerous and life.
