Coming soonFocal epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting the central nervous system, characterized by an enduring predisposition to recurrent unprovoked seizures originating within neural networks limited to one cerebral hemisphere.
It affects pediatric and adult populations and can arise from diverse structural, genetic, infectious, metabolic, immune, or unknown etiologies.
Pathophysiologically driven by paroxysmal, excessive, and hypersynchronous neuronal firing in a localized epileptogenic focus, seizures present with motor, sensory, autonomic, or cognitive manifestations that occur with preserved or impaired awareness and may secondarily propagate into bilateral tonic-clonic activity.
