complex partial seizures - type of convulsions
Definition for complex partial seizures
A complex partial seizure is an epileptic attack that involves a greater degree of impairment or alteration of consciousness/awareness and memory than a simple partial seizure.
more
A complex partial seizure is an epileptic attack that involves a greater degree of impairment or alteration of consciousness/awareness and memory than a simple partial seizure.
Complex partial seizures are often precipitated by an aura. This may begin with a feeling of déjà vu or jamais vu. The person may then have feelings of fear, euphoria or depression as well as possible depersonalization. Vision may then be disturbed. Often patients report tunnel vision or a change in the size of objects. Once consciousness is impaired the person may display “automatisms" such as lip smacking, chewing, swallowing and undressing oneself. There may also be loss of memory (amnesia) surrounding the seizure event. As the person may still be able to perform routine tasks such as walking or shopping the seizure may not be immediately recognisable to a witness who may not be aware that there is anything wrong.
