At the annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society, researchers reported that women with frontal lobe epilepsy are much more likely to have an increase in seizures during pregnancy than those with focal epilepsy or generalised epilepsy.
As reported in the Medical Express, in frontal lobe epilepsy, seizures begin in the front of the brain, while in focal epilepsy, seizures begin in one area of the brain. A third type is generalized epilepsy, wherein seizures affect both sides of the brain.
