So, epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in the world. An epileptic attack is caused by excitation of brain structures and is of a recurring nature. The most studied form of this pathology is childhood, occurring in a child under the age of 20 years. This will be discussed in this article.

Infantile (children's type) or focal seizures are most often observed in children aged 3-7 years and are characteristic of epilepsy of young children. They arise in a specific area of ​​brain tissue:

1. In the precentral gyri (frontal) - problems with speech arise; 2. Occurs in the temporal region (temporal): inability to understand what is heard or affect memory damage; 3. On the occipital or retinal part - the appearance of spots before the eyes (epileptic seizures); 4. In the parietal region (parietal) – loss of balance, impaired motor coordination; 5. And, depending on the location of the focus, the manifestations of focal epileptiform seizures may vary
