Signs and Symptoms of Seizures. Signs and symptoms are not the same things. A sign is a clinical feature of a disease or condition that the doctor looks for. It is something that can be seen or measured. A symptom is something the patient feels or complains about, like fatigue or pain. Symptoms cannot be directly observed. Both signs and symptoms are assessed in order to make a diagnosis . Often, a child having a generalized seizure will not remember anything about it and cannot describe her symptoms.
Postictal visual deficits and memory problems also often occur. The types of postictal symptoms experienced by patients with epilepsy are as varied as the seizures themselves and, for some patients, disability may be caused more by the postictal symptoms than by the seizures.
