    3.Infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral abscess in the acute phase of hyperemia, edema, the influence of toxins and exudates may cause seizures, and the scars and adhesions formed after healing may also become epileptic foci, parasitic diseases such as cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral lung flukes, cerebral cystechinococcosis, etc. often cause epilepsy.

    3.Simple partial seizures: tonic seizures, clonic seizures, or paresthesia seizures in one part or one limb that are brief in duration and clear in consciousness.

    If the seizure extends along the motor zone to other limbs or throughout the body, it may be accompanied by loss of consciousness, called a Jackson seizure. Temporary paralysis of the affected limb after an attack is called Todd's palsy.

    4.Complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures): psychosensory, psychomotor, and mixed seizures.

    There are many different degrees of impairment of consciousness and significant thinking, perceptual, emotional, and psychomotor disorders. There may be automatism such as fugue and nocturnal wandering. Sometimes, under the control of hallucinations and delusions, violent behaviors such as hurting others and self-harm can occur.
