A complex partial seizure, also known as a focal impaired awareness seizure, normally triggers in a particular portion of your brain, which is mostly the temporal lobe. This seizure mostly occurs in epileptic people and also victims of cerebral palsy. These seizures, which occur for a very short duration, make the victim unconscious for that period.

The main complex partial seizures symptoms include the following:

• Attempting to hurt themselves
• Executing movements like they are cycling
• Laughing, crying.

Conditions that can trigger a seizure
In most cases, a complex partial seizure occurs anywhere and anytime with absolutely no warning indications. Some victims experience a kind of an aura before the attack of the seizure. However, the common complex partial seizures symptoms include

• Reaction to certain medicines
• Low levels of blood sugar
• Flashing lights
• High levels of temperature

Diagnosing complex partial seizures
The doctor first needs confirmation whether the person is a victim of complex partial seizures. This requires ample details and facts from the victim as well as a second person who has witnessed the victim experiencing complex partial seizures symptoms. If your doctor feels it is a case of complex partial seizures, they normally advise an EEG. They also advise an MRI and a CT scan to determine the condition apart from some blood tests and neurological examination.
Once the condition has been diagnosed, the doctors will advise treatment. The good news, however, is that complex partial seizures treatment is quite effective to manage the condition. If the victim happens to be a child, there is every chance that he or she will outgrow this condition as they grow older provided they are diagnosed in time and given the right treatment.
