==Overview==
 
'''Focal seizures''' (also called '''partial seizures''') are [[seizure]]s which affect only a small part of the brain, and are split into two main categories; [[simple partial seizure]]s and [[complex partial seizures]]
 
A [[simple partial seizure]] will often be a precursor to a larger seizure such as a [[complex partial seizure]], or a [[tonic-clonic seizure]]. When this is the case, the [[simple partial seizure]] is usually called an [[aura (symptom)|aura]].
 
Focal seizures are common in [[temporal lobe epilepsy]].
