A comprehensive approach is required to diagnose partial seizures. Firstly, the doctor needs to check your medical history for any brain tumor or head trauma. You need to describe your exact symptoms before, during, and after each episode, including the duration and intensity. Based on the information, some possible assumptions can be suggested. A physical exam can also be needed to help the doctors determine whether a health issue that would make you more susceptible to partial seizures. To confirm the cause, several brain imaging techniques can be used, such as a CT scan or an EEG. The results can show the responses of some specific brain areas to find out an abnormal electrical activity. [5]
