Aura-induced seizures

Aura-induced seizures are a type of seizure that starts with an "aura," which is a sensation or warning sign that occurs before the seizure itself. An aura can manifest as unusual smells, tastes, feelings, or visual distortions, and it serves as a signal that a seizure may follow. These auras occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Not everyone with seizures experiences auras, but for those who do, recognizing them can help individuals prepare for or manage the upcoming seizure. Understanding auras can be crucial for both diagnosis and treatment of seizure disorders.
