partial seizures

Localized brain episodes

Partial seizures are epileptic seizures originating in one specific area of the brain rather than affecting the whole brain at once.

They may cause localized symptoms—twitching in one limb, unusual sensations, or altered awareness—depending on which brain region is involved.

Also called focal seizures.
