Complex partial seizures are defined by impairment in consciousness. This implies decreased responsiveness and awareness of one’s self and surroundings.
◦During a complex partial seizure, a patient is usually unresponsive and does not remember events that occurred.
◦Consciousness may not be impaired completely. Typically patients do not respond to external stimuli but may make simple verbal responses, follow simple commands, or continue to perform simple or, less commonly, complex motor behaviors such as operate a car.
◦Impairments in consciousness should be contrasted with psychic automatisms in which the patient experiences intense feelings of strangeness.
