Luders 1998 Tonic-Clonic Seizure Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are characterized by an initial tonic posturing of all limbs. The sustained muscle contractions that determined the tonic phase then tend to slow, evolving into a clonic phase with contractions of progressively decreasing frequency until the contractions disappear completely. The muscles included in the tonic and clonic phase should be essentially the same. Focal motor seizures showing such a tonic-clonic evolution are infrequent. Status Epilepticus Essentially any of the seizure forms described above can manifest as status epilepticus. Status epilepticus is classified in the same way as the seizures by replacing the term “seizure” with “status”-e.g., dialeptic status, right foot clonic status.
