Focal or partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one hemisphere of the brain. Common symptoms of focal seizures are involuntary muscle contractions, followed by relaxation on one side of the body, uncontrolled head or eye movements, a feeling of déjà vu, rapid heart rate, and a tingling sensation on the skin.
