A 34-year-old man had reduced vision in his left eye for about 15 years, and night blindness for about two years. His visual acuity was 20/15 in the right eye and 20/50 in the left eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Secondary generalized seizures: These start in one part of your brain and spread to the nerve cells on both sides. They can cause some of the same physical symptoms as a generalized seizure, like convulsions or muscle slackness. [webmd.com]

The two most common seizure types were generalized seizures (45 %) and status epilepticus (36 %). Nine of 11 patients (82 %) had tumor growth involving the frontal lobe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Generalized Seizures Section Generalized seizures occur when there is widespread seizure activity in the left and right hemispheres of the brain. [epilepsyontario.org]

Focal Seizures Doctors break these into three groups: Simple focal seizures: They change how your senses read the world around you: They can make you smell or taste something strange, and may make your fingers, arms, or legs twitch. [webmd.com]

There were 125 focal seizures, 187 secondarily generalized and 250 generalized seizures from 58 patients analyzed. Seizures were identified and classified independently by two epileptologists. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Focal seizures may also be called partial seizures. With focal seizures, particularly with complex focal seizures, the child may experience an aura before the seizure occurs. [beaumont.org]

There are two types of focal seizures: Focal seizures with retained awareness This type of focal seizure was previously known as a simple partial seizure. [epilepsyontario.org]

Focal seizures Focal seizures occur when one area (or lobe) of the brain is affected by abnormal electrical activity. The symptoms and level of consciousness depend on the area of the brain involved. [youngepilepsy.org.uk]

They may start in the same part of the brain as an atonic seizure, and some people have both myoclonic and atonic seizures. Absence (or petit mal) seizures: You seem disconnected from others around you and don’t respond to them. [webmd.com]

Because atonic seizures are so abrupt, without any warning, and because the people who experience them fall with force, atonic seizures can result in injuries to the head and face. [efepa.org]

Generalized Epileptic Seizures Generalized epileptic seizures start on both sides of the brain at once genetic or hereditary underlying cause generalized seizures include: absence seizures tonic-clonic seizures myoclonic seizures atonic seizures (also [barrowneuro.org]

Atonic Seizure In an atonic seizure, muscles suddenly lose strength. The eyelids might droop, the head might nod, and a child might drop things and fall to the ground. [gillettechildrens.org]

Causes Neonatal seizures have a variety of causes. [ucsfbenioffchildrens.org]

Jacksonian seizures are a type of focal aware seizures. Symptoms start in one hand or foot, then move up the limb as the electrical activity spreads in the brain. People are completely aware of what is occurring during the seizure. [msdmanuals.com]

Electroencephalogram (EEG) was negative for epileptiform activity. A diagnosis of seizure in the setting of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) was deemed probable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Extratemporal epileptiform activities (frontal, parietal, central, occipital and generalized) were also found equally in both groups. [dx.doi.org]

Since altered awareness occurs with even brief bursts of spike-wave paroxysms on EEG, treatment should be titrated to suppressing all epileptiform activity. The decision to start antiepileptic medication must be made with great care. [reference.medscape.com]
