Convulsion
A
convulsion is a medical condition where body
muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body. Because a convulsion is often a symptom of an
epileptic seizure, the term
convulsion is sometimes used as a synonym for
seizure. However, not all epileptic seizures lead to convulsions, and not all convulsions are caused by epileptic seizures. Convulsions are also consistent with an
electric shock and improper Enriched Air Scuba Diving. For non-epileptic convulsions, see
non-epileptic seizures.
