The 20 Best Partial Seizure Doctors Near Me in Sherman, TX

All seizures are caused by abnormal electrical disturbances in the brain. Focal seizures occur when this electrical activity is in a limited area of the brain. Sometimes the seizures stay only in one part of the brain, while at other times, the seizures can turn into bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, which affect the whole brain. This is also called secondary generalization.

Focal seizures can be divided into whether they affect awareness or not:

• Focal, aware
• Focal, awareness impaired

Focal seizures are also classified by whether they are motor (movements with the seizures) or not.
