Seisures

Were you looking for information about Seizures? Seisures is a common misspelling of seizures.

There are two types of seizures, generalized and partial. Generalized seizures are episodes that involve all brain cells, which can result in convulsions with a complete loss of consciousness or a brief period of fixed staring. Partial seizures occur when certain brain cells on one part of the brain are not working properly. These types of seizures may cause periods of "automatic behavior" and altered consciousness.
