A member asked:
What are the sypmtoms of a kind of epilepsy called jacksonian seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Focal or partial: Hughlings jackson described patients with seizures that start in a very specific group of muscles and then spread over more regions of that part of the body. Eeg studies showed that the electrical discharges start focally in a region of the motor strip and the spread along the strip to involve more regions representing that side of the body. These type of seizures became jacksonian.
