Can Seizures Cause Hemiparesis And Dysphagia?
Can seizures cause hemiparesis and dysphagia? A friend developed symptoms that mirrored Multiple Sclerosis. Extensive tests were done (EEG, MRI, CT) and it appeared it was MS, however the neurologist stated, no lesions found to confirm MS . Could Jacksonian Seizures result in sudden muscle weakness in one part of the body?

Hi,
Seizures of any form may present as hemiparesis and with other symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, speaking etc.
People may suffer an ischemic attack of transient nature during a seizure episode which may case these symptoms.
