Hi, First generalized tonic-clonic seizures and altered mental state is a medical emergency. She should be in intensive care unit for stabilization. Gloss is a proliferation of astrocytes (type of non-neural brain cells) in damaged areas of the central nervous system (CNS). It does not indicate cause of problem. For treatment, she should be stabilized, treated for seizures, monitored for sensorial, investigated for cause of lesion and treated according to cause. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.
