A 12 year old girl presented with tics, LOC (loss of consciousness), no residual sign and no post- ictal phase. EEG abnormality in temporal lobe. The girl had a rapid recovery. What is the most probably dx?

The key is C. Partial –> generalized seizure. [Seizures may be described as either partial (focal) or

generalized. Partial seizures only involve a localized part of the brain, whereas generalized seizures

involve the whole of both hemispheres. As there is loss of consciousness this is partial complex seizer.

Often focal seizers may precipitate into generalized seizer and called partial generalized seizer (more

accurately “secondary generalized seizer”)].
