Focal seizures, such as those due to frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE), are not always easy to recognize and may be erroneously attributed to peripheral or psychiatric sources.
FLE seizures may present as abnormal body posturing, sensorimotor tics, and/or other abnormal motor skills, and rarely may be associated with uncontrollable laughing and/or crying.
Post-seizure confusion >may occur, but typically does not last as long as the post-ictal states associated with other types of epilepsy.
