Differential Diagnosis of Todd’s Paralysis

Todd’s palsy: Generally, people with epilepsy do not have significant changes in limb function after a seizure, but some people with partial motor epilepsy have inactivity of the twitching limbs after a seizure that lasts for minutes to hours and then returns to normal. We call this temporary paralysis due to seizure after seizure Todd paralysis, also known as Todd palsy. When Todd paralysis occurs in patients with epilepsy, it often suggests that the patient has an organic lesion in the brain, and further examination must be done to clarify the cause. The most notable significance of the condition is the differential diagnosis with stroke. In the acute phase, certain strokes can trigger limited seizures. And if Todd’s paralysis occurs in such a context, the patient’s neurological condition is often overestimated, thus leading to medical measures such as thrombolytic therapy errors. For such reasons, thrombolytic therapy is generally recognized as a relative contraindication for seizures presenting in the acute phase of a stroke, especially if evidence of cerebrovascular infarction remains lacking prior to vascular imaging. Thrombolytic therapy is contraindicated in cases where the diagnosis is not clear. It is recommended to use antiepileptic, anticoagulation, vasodilatation, nutrient brain cells, free radical removal, acupuncture and other measures, at the same time, as soon as possible to do further examination, for example, CT and MRI diffusion-weighted imaging for the diagnosis of cerebral ischemic stroke has an important value. Stroke is also called cerebral stroke. Stroke is the generic term used in Chinese medicine for acute cerebrovascular disease. It is a type of cerebral blood circulation disorder with sudden fainting, unconsciousness, accompanied by crooked mouth, unfavorable speech and hemiplegia as the main symptoms. Because of the high incidence rate, high mortality rate, high disability rate, high recurrence rate and many complications of stroke, the medical profession has listed it as one of the three major diseases threatening human health, together with coronary heart disease and cancer. The importance of preventing stroke has attracted the attention of medical circles at home and abroad, and medical doctors are exploring the preventive measures of stroke from various aspects. Because of the rapid onset, multiple symptoms, rapid changes in the condition, and the wind’s good behavior of the number of changes in the characteristics of similar, so the name of the stroke, stroke. The disease often leaves sequelae and the age of onset tends to be younger, therefore, it is a major disease that threatens human life and quality of life. The prevention of paralysis relies on preventing the underlying causes. Stroke risk control can reduce high levels of blood pressure and cholesterol. Seat belts, air bags, and helmets reduce the risk of motor vehicle accidents and injuries. Good prenatal care can help prevent premature birth, a common cause of cerebral palsy.
