Location of onset: Seizures are either generalized and start all over the brain, or they are partial and begin in a specific portion or focus in the brain. If the onset is found to be from the frontal lobes of the brain, the condition is partial with frontal focus or frontal seizures.

Type of partial sz: Comes from frontal lobe. Several different types. Sometimes looks like a "fencing" posture. More common during sleep. Often difficult to control with anti-seizure meds. Sometimes requires surgery for treatment.
