<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To summarize the value of clinical features, CSF, imaging and EEG in diagnosing viral encephalitis accompanying generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical, imaging and EEG characteristic of 30 patients with viral encephalitis accompanying GTCS were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 30 cases with viral encephalitis, 21 cases GTCS attacked (70%) within 14 days, 9 cases had GTCS (30%) in 15-28 days. 27 cases CSF were abnormal with the pressure, cell number, protein. The incidence of positive pathogenicity was 12/16; 19 cases MRI had abnormal signal. All the patients had abnormal EEG during the disease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The clinical features, CSF, imaging and EEG were all important in diagnosing and estimate of viral encephalitis accompanying GTCS.</p>
