| Definitions |
The updated term for partial epilepsy is now focal epilepsy, according to the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Taskforce [PMID:35503725, PMID:28276062]. Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp317). A seizure caused by a localized disorder. |
