Focal aware seizures are a type of seizure that begins in a specific area of the brain and does not cause a loss of consciousness. During these seizures, a person may experience unusual sensations, movements, or emotions while remaining fully aware of their surroundings. They can last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. These seizures can manifest in various ways, such as twitching of a limb, changes in vision, or strange smells. Although the person is conscious, they may not be able to respond or communicate effectively during the episode. Understanding these seizures is important for proper diagnosis and management.
