comment

In the previous (1981) ILAE classification of seizure types, the term 'simple partial seizure' was used to denote a focal aware seizure. Awareness during a seizure is defined as the patient being fully aware of themself and their environment throughout the seizure, even if immobile. If awareness is preserved throughout, then the seizure is a focal aware seizure. Previously the terms simple partial was used to describe focal aware seizures.
