These seizures may cause loss of consciousness, massive muscle spasms or falls. Generalized seizures are further classified into absence or petit mal seizure, tonic-clonic or grand mal seizure, myoclonic seizure, atonic seizure and tonic seizure (Shin et al., 1994). Absence seizure or petit mal seizure usually start in childhood but they can persevere into adulthood. Absence seizure causes starring enchantment that last several seconds, sometimes in combination with head nodding or eyelid fluttering. The second type of generalized seizure is tonic – clonic seizure. This seizure begin with abrupt loss of consciousness and tonic activity chased by clonic activity of the limbs. The seizure itself is called an ictus. After the seizure, the patient is post ictal, lethargic, drowsy and confused erratically for many hours. Another type of generalized seizure is myoclonic seizure. Myoclonic seizure is an précised jerk or series of jerk, less organized than the rhythmic jerks (Jerome et al.,2008). There are many other type of epileptic syndrome like rolandic epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, childhood absence epilepsy and status
