Svensk definition
Sjukdomstillstånd med typiska återkommande paroxysmala nervcellsurladdningar som utgår från ett bestämt område i hjärnan. Partiella epilepsianfall delas in i enkla och komplexa, beroende på medvetandepåverkan (ingen vid enkelt anfall; stört medvetande vid komplext). Båda typer kan visa upp ett brett spektrum av motoriska, känsel- och autonoma symtom. De partiella anfallen kan klassificeras utifrån åtföljande kliniska drag eller det anatomiska läget för anfallsfokus. Ett sekundärt, utbrett krampanfall kan hänföras till ett partiellt anfall som på diffust sätt envolverar andra delar av hjärnan.
Engelsk definition
Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp317)
