A psychomotor seizure is an older term used to describe a type of focal seizure, also known as a partial seizure, that affects one area of the brain, typically the temporal lobe. During a seizure, a person may experience unusual feelings, sensations, and involuntary body movements. Other recognized terms for a psychomotor seizure include a “limbic seizure” and “focal onset seizure” . Symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy (psychomotor epilepsy) may include auras, auditory aura, sensing an unusual smell, a fixed stare, confusion or lack of awareness of what is going on around them, fumbling with the fingers, lip-smacking, unusual posturing in an arm, speaking gibberish, tonic-clonic jerking, and weakness after the seizure has stopped. The cause of psychomotor epilepsy is not always known, but seizures may occur due to a traumatic brain injury, infections, brain tumors, a stroke, or genetic syndromes.
