post-ictal blindness

[Hunter]

I did a quick google search on this and apparently it mostly happens in children. I think most of the websites I found are all copies of the same crap with different words.

I can tell my wife can't see for a few minutes after hers, everytime.
I was sure when she said she was scared sh*tless and couldn't see.
Which is kind of funny because she says she cant remember things during one.
But anyway... I don't doubt her.

Do any of you suffer from blindness after a seizure?
If so, do you remember how long it lasted?
Or do you remember being blind?
Have you heard of a permanent case of post-ictal blindness?

This particular one mentioning its a "rare" case. But it happens every time in my wifes. It was also my favorite one i found. I'd like to find a more recent case study or something.

Haven't been around long enough to post images or links so...
I swear its not a dull read. Its also not a picture of someones junk.

And what the hell? End of case 1. "Subsequently, she died of unknown reasons elsewhere.".......
I could rant about this but I wont.

Also, in all 5 cases the blindness was less temporary... Permanent in case 1

Hi Hunter,

I've checked on it also and it is a rare condition in adults but mainly follows from a grandmal seizure and it occurs in different sections of the temporal lobe...now I suffer from grandmal and when coming around things are blurred but never pure blindness.

This should be mentioned to your wifes neurologists because it's very important and he/she may refer your wife to an opthamologist to check her eyes, as I see one every 6mths and i'm due another appointment soon plus they're very thorough.

I found this Journal of neurology about it.
