Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy. Seizures (fits, convulsions) are episodes of disturbed brain function that cause changes in neuromuscular function, attention, or behavior. They are caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain.
Partial Seizures. In partial seizures, just one side of the brain is affected. A person having a simple partial seizure may have jerking motions or hallucinations, and still be aware of what is happening. When having a complex partial seizure, a person may wander, mumble, smack their lips, or fumble with their clothes.pilepsy is widely known for causing convulsions -- sudden, uncontrolled movements. But seizures can trigger a wide range of other symptoms, from staring to falling to fumbling with clothes. Doctors divide seizures into different types depending on how the brain is affected.
