  2. Focal seizure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_seizure

    As of 2017, [needs update] focal seizures are split into two main categories, focal onset aware, and focal onset impaired awareness. [5] What was previously termed a secondary generalised seizure is now termed a focal to bilateral seizure. [6] In focal onset aware seizures, a small part of one of the lobes may be affected and the person remains ...

  3. Temporal lobe epilepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe_epilepsy

    A focal aware temporal lobe seizure occurs if a person remains aware of what occurs during the entire seizure; awareness may be retained even if impaired responsiveness occurs during the seizure. [10] A focal impaired awareness temporal lobe seizure occurs if a person becomes unaware during any part of the seizure. [10] Approximately 80% of ...

  4. Frontal lobe epilepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe_epilepsy

    Partial seizures occurring in the frontal lobes can occur in one of two different forms: either “focal aware”, the old term was simple partial seizures (that do not affect awareness or memory) “focal unaware” the old term was complex partial seizures (that affect awareness or memory either before, during or after a seizure). The ...

  5. Generalized tonic–clonic seizure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_tonic–clonic...

    These unilateral seizure types (formerly known as simple partial seizure or a complex partial seizure and now referred to as focal aware seizure and focal impaired awareness seizure, respectively [5]) can then spread to both hemispheres of the brain and cause a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. This type of seizure has a specific term called ...

  6. Seizure types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure_types

    The classification distinguishes focal aware seizures from focal impaired awareness seizures. [1]: 524 Aware means aware of self and surroundings during the seizure, verified when a person can recall events having occurred during the seizure. [1]: 527 Impaired awareness occurs even if the recall of events is only partially impaired. [1]

  7. Panayiotopoulos syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panayiotopoulos_syndrome

    Panayiotopoulos syndrome and all other benign childhood focal seizures, with rolandic epilepsy as their main representative, are probably linked due to a common, genetically determined, mild, and reversible functional derangement of the brain cortical maturational process that Panayiotopoulos proposed as "benign childhood seizure susceptibility ...

  8. Focal cortical dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_cortical_dysplasia

    Focal means that it is limited to a focal zone in any lobe. [2] Focal cortical dysplasia is a common cause of intractable epilepsy in children and is a frequent cause of epilepsy in adults. There are three types of FCD with subtypes, including type 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d, each with distinct histopathological features.

  9. Benign familial infantile epilepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_familial_infantile...

    Benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE) is an epilepsy syndrome. [1] Affected children, who have no other health or developmental problems, develop seizures during infancy. These seizures have focal origin within the brain but may then spread to become generalised seizures. The seizures may occur several times a day, often grouped in clusters ...
