- Seizures are brain malfunctions that alter a person’s awareness. During a seizure, the brain cells fire large bursts of energy, a departure from the normal on-and-off firing pattern. The seizure may last only a few seconds or minutes and trigger involuntary body movements, strange sensations or blackouts.

- Focal seizures that act as a warning of a generalised seizure. The epileptic activity that causes a focal seizure can sometimes spread through the brain and develop into a generalised seizure. If this happens, the focal seizure acts as a warning of a generalised seizure and is sometimes called an aura.

Seizures Seizures happen when brain cells fire or “talk” too much, temporarily disrupting the brain’s normal electrical signals. They’re quite common, especially in infants and young children, and they have a wide range of causes. Certain seizures are easy to recognize (jerking, twitching, stiffness), while others don’t have any outward signs.

- Granted, not all seizures are caused by sleep apnea, but even if it’s 25% or 50%, it would make sense to at least screen for it. Questionnaires can help to find some sleep apnea, but you can be completely asymptomatic, not snore and be thin and still have significant sleep apnea.

Grand Mal Seizures Grand mal seizures also known as tonic-clonic seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain affecting person’s consciousness. A sudden flow of electrical activity in the brain affects person’s feelings or actions for a short time.

- Electrical impulses allow neurons to communicate with one another. During a seizure, there is abnormal and excessive electrical activity in the brain. This can cause changes in awareness, behavior, and/or abnormal movements. This activity usually lasts only a few seconds to minutes. Epilepsy refers to a condition in which a person has a risk of recurring epileptic seizures.

Dilantin Uses Generalized Seizures. Generalized seizures are a result of abnormal brain activity on both sides of the brain. These seizures may cause loss of consciousness, falls, or massive muscle spasms. The two most common forms are absence seizures (also known as petit mal seizures) and tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures). Tonic-clonic seizures involve decreased consciousness and muscle contractions and rigidity.

Simple Partial Seizures Motor – A simple partial seizure with motor symptoms will affect muscle activity, causing jerking movements of the foot, face, arm, or another part of the body. Physicians can diagnose which side of the brain is affected by observing which side of the body experiences symptoms (left brain controls right side, right brain controls left side).

- One example is non-epileptic seizures, which result from injury. This includes a blow to the head or an illness. When the condition is treated, the seizures go away. Partial seizures are associated with epilepsy, a condition that causes repeated seizures. This seizure type happens on only one side of the brain. As a result, one side of the body is affected during a seizure. Other names for partial seizures include focal, Jacksonian, and temporal lobe seizures.

Cerebral Palsy Complications Partial seizures are confined to one part of the brain and may be simple or complex. Simple partial seizures cause muscle twitching, chewing movement, and numbness or tingling. Complex partial seizures can produce hallucinations, staggering, random movement, and impaired consciousness or confusion. Children with moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy—especially those with spastic quadriplegia—often experience failure to grow or thrive.

Epileptic seizure 1 The seizure may begin with an aura or simple partial seizure or they begin with a complex partial that continues and changes into the secondary generalized seizure. 2  The secondary generalized part begins usually with stiffening of the muscles. 3  Air being forced past the vocal cords causes a cry or groan. These seizures generally last 1 to 3 minutes. 2  A tonic-clonic seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes is a medical emergency. 3  It may be difficult to distinguish these seizures from primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, especially if they occur during sleep or are not seen by anyone else.

Overview When seizures appear to result from abnormal activity in just one area of your brain, they're called focal (partial) seizures. These seizures fall into two categories. Focal seizures without loss of consciousness (simple partial seizures). These seizures don't cause a loss of consciousness.
