Summary
A 22-year-old male driver who worked as an electrician presented with a generalised seizure. He had felt dizzy just before he lost consciousness and was observed to have limb- and body-shaking for less than a minute. He took 45 minutes to fully recover. He had not bitten his tongue and had not been incontinent.
