[1842J. Jackson Inquiry into Nature & Causes of Epilepsy 10 The peculiar giddiness or momentary state of half consciousness, to which epileptics are so liable, is indeed an imperfect seizure, and differs only in degree and duration from the state called catalepsy; it is termed by the French ‘vertige epileptique’ or ‘petit mal’, in contradistinction to the perfect seizure, or ‘grand mal’.] 1879Encycl. Brit. VIII. 479/2 There are two well-marked varieties of the epileptic seizure... To these the terms epilepsia gravior and epilepsia mitior, le grand mal and le petit mal, are usually applied. 1948Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis.
