Complex Partial Seizures and Partial Seizures
If you are having a partial seizure, the disturbance in brain activity begins in or involves a distinct area of your brain. The nature of these seizures is usually determined by the function of the part of your brain that is involved. For example, if the motor cortex area of your brain is affected, then your arm or leg may jerk uncontrollably. Partial seizures are sometimes known as “focal.” There are basically three types of partial seizure: simple partial, complex partial, and partial seizures that develop into secondarily generalized seizures.
