A type of focal-onset saeizure characterized by impaired awareness.

If awareness is impaired at any point during the seizure, the seizure is a focal impaired awareness seizure. The degree of loss of awareness may vary.

comment
In the previous (1981) ILAE classification of seizure types, the term 'complex partial seizure' was used to denote a focal impaired awareness seizure. The term Dialeptic seizure referred to seizures that have as their main ictal manifestations an alteration of consciousness that is independent of ictal EEG manifestations. The term is no longer recommended according to the 2017 ILAE seizure classification.
