209 for Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures, not intractable, without status epilepticus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Seizures: Focal (Partial) Seizures occur when nerve cells in the brain send out sudden, excessive, uncontrolled electrical signals. Focal seizures occur when nerve cells in a part of the brain are involved. The way the child acts during a focal seizure depends on the area of the brain that is affected (See next page).
When an epileptic seizure starts in one side of the brain, it's called a focal onset seizure or a focal seizure. Both terms mean the same thing. Until recently these seizures were called partial seizures.

Focal epilepsy seizures come in four categories:Focal aware seizures. If you know what's happening during the seizure, it's an "aware" seizure. ... Focal impaired awareness seizures. ... Focal motor seizures. ... Focal non-motor seizures.
Focal epilepsies are characterized by seizures arising from a specific part (lobe) of the brain. Focal epilepsies include idiopathic location-related epilepsies (ILRE), frontal lobe epilepsy, temporal lobe epilepsy, parietal lobe epilepsy and occipital lobe epilepsy.
Imaging. If your doctor suspects a focal onset seizure, it's very common to follow up with a CT or MRI. Both can help find out where in the brain it happened and what caused it. An MRI is more likely if your doctor needs an image with fine detail.
A focal onset seizure may occur for many reasons. Epilepsy, brain tumors, or damage from head trauma or from a stroke can cause recurrent focal onset seizures. Infections, heatstroke, or low blood sugar can trigger a seizure.
Seizures can be categorized as partial or generalized. Seizures originating from a single location in the brain are considered to have a focal onset, known as a partial seizure. Seizure activity originating simultaneously from bilateral hemispheres is considered to have a generalized onset.
