Define a partial seizure
What will be an ideal response?
A partial seizure involves only one hemisphere of the brain, which may result in the jerking movement of an isolated region of the body (e.g., a leg or arm) rather than convulsive movements of the entire body.
A person experiencing a partial seizure may also appear to be in a trancelike state and may fidget, pick at clothing, wander around, or continuously smack her lips.
