Partial (focal) seizureFrom our partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com. Death or permanent brain damage from seizures is rare, but either can occur if the seizure is prolonged or if many seizures occur in close proximity (status epilepticus). Serious injury can occur if the seizure happens while the person is driving or operating dangerous equipment.
