Todd's palsy (paralysis or weakness left over by transient local limbs)

The disease was first described by the London physiologist Robert Bentley Todd in 1849 and was named after him. Todd's paralysis is a neurological abnormality that occurs in patients with epilepsy, that is, a transient paralysis that occurs when epilepsy occurs. The paralysis can be local or systemic, but usually only occurs on one side of the body. It is most common after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure (major seizure), and after seizures, may last for several hours or occasionally for several days.
