Characteristic Signs Of Temporal Lobe Seizures

Unusual Movements

During temporal lobe seizures where patients retain awareness, they're generally able to respond when others speak to them. However, temporal lobe seizures can impair their ability to respond to others or observe them. There's a loss of awareness of the surrounding world. These seizures typically last between thirty seconds and two minutes. During the seizure, the patient may move their muscles in unusual, purposeless ways. There may be unusual movements in the fingers like picking motions or repetitive motions. Patients may also smack their lips and repeatedly swallow or chew on nothing. These movements are accompanied by staring and a lack of response to external stimuli.
