Definition:
Focal seizures, or partial seizures, are a kind of seizures in which only a small part of the brain is affected. It is usually a precursor of a bigger seizure such as a tonic-clonic seizure. Focal seizures are divided into two types; complex partial seizures and simple partial seizures. Focal seizures are as well common in temporal lobe epilepsy.
