Grand Mal Seizure – Symptoms & Causes

5 Causes of Grand Mal Seizure

Head Trauma

A brain injury after an accident or a head trauma, such as stroke or tumors, is a common cause of a grand mal seizure. It would trigger a sudden episode immediately at the time of the incident. When your nervous system is severely affected, you would even experience epilepsy and seizure in the long run. This is because several brain injuries would cause scars and bleeding inside your brain, which disrupt normal electrical activities. In addition, a trauma might produce erratic nerve stimulation or cerebral hyperactivity that triggers a seizure. [8]
