Partial Seizures (Focal Seizures) Guide – 10 Facts to Know

Symptoms

The signs of a focal seizure would vary, depending on the affected area of the brain. Many cases often start with mild spasms, jerking, or twitching of one body part like face or leg. In addition, you might notice a loss of consciousness, reduced awareness, drooling, mumbling, as well as unusual eye movements. These symptoms tend to subside or become worse in a couple of seconds of minutes when the abnormal electrical activity disappears or spreads in the central nervous system. The seizure would become more serious so quickly that the first considerable manifestation might actually manifest to be relatively intense and might not seem to be focal at all. [3]
