Partial seizures are further categorized as either:

Simple partial seizures – The seizure is localized to one area on one side of the brain, but may spread to other areas. Consciousness is not lost during a simple partial seizure.
Complex partial seizures – Seizures originating in one area of the brain that affect consciousness are labeled as complex partial seizures.
Partial seizures that secondarily generalize – Partial seizures may spread to other areas of the brain.

What is a simple partial seizure?
Simple partial seizures are usually divided into categories depending on the type of symptoms the person experiences:

Sensory seizures:
These cause changes in any one of the senses.
People with sensory seizures may smell or taste things that aren't there; hear clicking, ringing, or a person's voice when there is no actual sound; or feel a sensation of "pins and needles" or numbness.

1b. Complex Partial Seizures

Complex partial seizures impair consciousness and occur in all age groups. Typically, staring is accompanied by impaired responsiveness, cognitive function, and recall, although some degree of responsiveness may be preserved (e.g., orienting toward a stimulus). Automatic movements (automatisms) are common and involve the mouth (e.g., lip smacking, chewing, swallowing), upper extremities (e.g., fumbling, picking), vocalization/verbalization (e.g., grunts, repeating a phrase), or complex acts (e.g., shuffling cards). More dramatic automatisms occasionally occur (e.g., screaming, running, disrobing, pelvic thrusting).
