MeSH Heading: Epilepsy, Complex Partial
Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.490.360.260
Unique ID: D017029
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017029
Annotation: do not confuse with EPILEPSY, SIMPLE PARTIAL see EPILEPSIES, PARTIAL
Scope Note: A disorder characterized by recurrent partial seizures marked by impairment of cognition. During the seizure the individual may experience a wide variety of psychic phenomenon including formed hallucinations, illusions, deja vu, intense emotional feelings, confusion, and spatial disorientation. Focal motor activity, sensory alterations and AUTOMATISM may also occur. Complex partial seizures often originate from foci in one or both temporal lobes. The etiology may be idiopathic (cryptogenic partial complex epilepsy) or occur as a secondary manifestation of a focal cortical lesion (symptomatic partial complex epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp317-8)
