ICD-10 Code G83.84 | Todd's paralysis (postepileptic) Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Todd's paralysis is a temporary weakness or paralysis that occurs after a seizure, typically resolving within hours to days. It is important to differentiate it from other neurological conditions.

Diagnosis is based on clinical history and examination, particularly the presence of weakness following a seizure. ICD-10 Code G83.84 is used to document this condition.

Hospitalization may be necessary if the paralysis is severe, if there are complications, or if the patient requires further evaluation for seizure management.

Treatment primarily involves supportive care, including rest and monitoring. Physical therapy may be indicated if weakness persists beyond the expected recovery period.
