A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The term seizure is often used interchangeably with convulsion.. Convulsions occur when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different types of seizures.
Seizures can affect the entire brain, but when it occurs in just one area, it is called a partial seizure. A partial seizure may occur for many reasons including epilepsy, brain tumors or infections, heat stroke, or low blood sugar. A seizure, by itself, cannot be treated, and must be allowed to run its course.
