Partial(focal) seizures occur when this electrical activity remains in a limited area of the brain. The seizures may sometimes turn into generalized seizures, which affect the whole brain.

Have you or someone else noticed part of your body tensing up or jerking on occasion? Do you have short periods when you feel confused, have memory loss, or appear to act unusual? Are you sometimes unaware of your actions or do you even pass out for a few moments? These and similar events could be partial seizures. They can be scary and frustrating. But they do not mean you are crazy or possessed. You simply have a condition called epilepsy. The good news is that these partial seizures can usually be controlled.
