Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Focal seizures, also known as partial seizures, occur when there is abnormal electrical activity in just one part of the brain. The epileptic discharges in focal seizures do not spread throughout the entire brain, which differentiates them from generalized seizures. However, there may be epileptic spiking in the EEG, an aura, and the seizure may be either simple or complex depending on the specific type of focal seizure. There is always an epileptic focus in a focal seizure.
