Focal seizures (also called partial seizures and localized seizures) are seizures which affect initially just one hemisphere of the brain. The brain is split into two hemispheres, each consisting of 4 lobes – the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes. A seizure is generated in and affects only one a part of "> a part of the brain – an entire hemisphere or part of a lobe. Symptoms will vary consistent with where the seizure occurs. within the lobe symptoms may include a wave-like sensation within the head; within the lobe , a sense of Dyslexia ;in the lobe , a numbness or tingling; and within the lobe , visual disturbance or hallucination.

A seizure, formally mentioned as a convulsion, could also be a period of symptoms because of abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity within the brain. Outward effects vary from uncontrolled shaking movements involving much of the body with loss of consciousness (tonic-clonic seizure), to shaking movements involving only a neighborhood of the body with variable levels of consciousness (focal seizure), to a subtle momentary loss of awareness (absence seizure). Most of the time these episodes last but 2 minutes and it takes a short time to return to normal. Loss of bladder control may occur
