A seizure that affects only one
part of the brain. Symptoms depend on which part is
affected. One part of the body, or multiple body parts
confined to one side of the body, may start to twitch
uncontrollably. Partial seizures may involve head turning,
eye movements, lip smacking, mouth movements, drooling,
rhythmic muscle contractions in a part of the body,
apparently purposeful movements, abnormal numbness,
tingling, and a crawling sensation over the skin. Partial
seizures can also include sensory disturbances, such as
smelling or hearing things that are not there, or having a
sudden flood of emotions. Although the patient may feel
confused, consciousness is not lost. Also known as a focal seizure or a local seizure.
