Brief Answer:
your query has been answered..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, welcome to HCM..

I've gone through your query and let me inform you that a seizure or otherwise known as convulsion is a physical finding in a person where the full body or some part of it gets shaken/shown abnormal movements involuntarily due to abnormal brain conduction..this is just a medical definition, there are much more beyond this as well as several exceptions..

Now that being said, there are several different different types of seizure activities, showing several different types of presentations..

Can you please let me know what made you concerned in this regard, so that I can guide you more specifically as there are so many findings which quite often mimic it, making it really tricky for the clinicians to identify it as well as treating accordingly..

Awaiting your response..

Take Care
Kind Regards
