Focal Epilepsy: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Abstract

Manga Madhavi

Focal epilepsy, also known as partial epilepsy, is a type of epilepsy where seizures originate from a specific area of the brain. These seizures can affect a person's consciousness, movements, sensations, and emotions. The symptoms of focal epilepsy can vary widely depending on the location of the affected brain region. Some people may experience simple partial seizures, which involve twitching or numbness in a specific part of the body. Others may experience complex partial seizures, which can involve confusion, staring spells, and repetitive movements.
