Seizures Report

Seizures can cause involuntary changes in body movement or function, sensation, awareness, or behavior. Seizures fall into two main groups. Focal or partial seizures, happen in just one part of the brain. Generalized seizures are a result of abnormal activity on both sides of the brain.
