Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Seizures may present with symptoms such as deviation of the head and eyes, automatisms, etc. They are mainly manifested as focal symptoms and generalized symptoms, both of which can help localize and lateralize the epileptic focus—the origin of seizures—where sudden impairment of consciousness frequently occurs. Common manifestations include visual auras, auditory auras, olfactory auras, visceral auras, psychic auras, as well as head-eye deviation, automatisms, asymmetric tonic posturing, and atonic posturing.
