Question
What is the pathology of todd's palsy? How long it will last maximally?
Answer
Todd's paralysis is a neurological condition characterized by a brief period of transient (temporary) paralysis following a seizure. The paralysis - which may be partial or complete - generally occurs on one side of the body and usually subsides completely within 48 hours. Todd's paralysis may also affect speech or vision. The cause is not known. Pathologically, the clinical features may represent neuronal exhaustion after the period of increased activity.
