Q: What is Todd's Paresis?
Answer:
Todd's paresis is focal paralysis which occurs after seizure, and
usually resolves within a day or two. Usually, it presents as hemiplegia.
Todd's paresis may also
presents difficulty in speech, gaze
problems or blurred vision. It affects around 10%
of seizures.
The most challenging part is to
determine whether seizure is the cause of motor weakness or is the result of
CVA. Fortunately, in most cases it resolves quickly.
