My Epilepsy Story | Complex Partial Seizures | Frontal Impaired Awareness 💜

Seizures are brought on by surges of electrical energy in your brain. With a complex partial seizure, the surge happens only on one side and in a specific area. and the person has a change in their level of awareness during some or all of it, it is called a focal onset impaired awareness seizure. Anyone can have a complex partial seizure, and doctors don’t always know why they happen. They’re often related to a type of epilepsy called temporal lobe epilepsy. They also may be more common in people who have had a stroke or head injury or who have other health problems, like an infection in their brain or a tumor. Where do focal impaired awareness seizures (complex partial seizures) usually start? These seizures usually start in one area or group of brain cells, most often in the temporal lobe or frontal lobe of the brain. They can also start in other areas too. The seizures starting in the frontal lobe tend to be shorter than the ones from the temporal lobe. Focal seizures can include involuntary movements called automatisms (aw-TOM-ah-TIZ-ums) like rubbing of the hands, lip-smacking, chewing movements. When they involve the frontal lobes, you may see bicycling movements of the legs or pelvic thrusting or other complex movements. Some focal onset impaired awareness seizures (usually ones beginning in the temporal lobe) start with a focal aware seizure (previously call simple partial seizure), which is commonly called an aura. In this case, the focal aware seizure quickly involves other areas of the brain that affect alertness and awareness. The person loses awareness and stares blankly. So even though their eyes are open and they may make movements that seem to have a purpose, they are not aware of them. If the symptoms are subtle, other people may think the person is just daydreaming. Awareness may be only partially impaired, rather than absent. Any decrease in awareness of the self or environment at any time during a seizure makes it a focal impaired awareness seizure. A person's ability to respond may be impaired. Some seizures make the person unable to move yet still aware of what is happening around them. Impairment of awareness is similar to the concept of impairment of consciousness. Some focal impaired awareness (complex partial) seizures can spread to both sides of the brain. Previously called secondarily generalized seizures, the new name for this is focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. They usually last between 30 seconds and 3 minutes. Afterward, the person may be tired or confused for about 15 minutes and may not be return to normal function for hours.
