Focal behavior arrest seizure 2011-11-19T10:12:04Z Localized seizure with behavioral arrest Partial hypokinetic seizure Focal hypokinetic seizure Partial seizure with behaviour arrest Partial seizure with behavior arrest HP:0011173 The word 'focal' is explicit in the term title to emphasize the difference between these seizures and absence (generalized non-motor) seizures. Because brief behavior arrest is common and difficult to identify at the start of many seizures, the arrest must be persistent and dominant through the entire seizure. If the patient is able to identify that fear is the primary onset feature of the seizure, and results in immobility, the seizure is a focal emotional seizure with fear, and the immobility is then considered a descriptive feature, due to the fear. If the focal seizure is not characterized by this feature at the very outset of the seizure, it is not used to classify the seizure, it is instead used as a seizure descriptor, after the seizure is classified according to its onset feature.
