Focal seizures are a type of seizure that affects only one side of your brain and body. These seizures tend to be less severe than generalized seizures, which affect both sides of your brain and body. Focal seizures are the most common type of seizures with epilepsy, and are often seen with conditions like stroke, head injuries and more.
The Care Plan includes a Focal Seizure Risk Assessment. When responding to a febrile convulsion, it is important to remember to take action to ensure the child's safety during and after the convulsion. The risk assessment explains each of these in more detail.
