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

Causes

A partial seizure is often triggered when a specific brain region is susceptible to abnormal electrical activity. This problem might be present when you are born. In some cases, a brain damage during adulthood or childhood can increase the risk of having a seizure as well. In addition, there are many other common causes, such as abnormal blood vessels in the brain, a brain infection, a stroke, a brain tumor, a head trauma, or congenital. Understanding the underlying cause can help determine the right treatments and take a proper preventive plan. [4]
