Some questions

Wed, 04/04/2018 - 18:05
Sorry for the bad English, I naturally speak French. You may think my question is stupid but I need answer. If somebody is paraplegic and have an epilepsy crisis with convulsions. Is the whole of his body going to have spams or just the upper body (the non-paralyzed part) ? Small precision, paralysis is due to spinal cord injury and not to brain trauma.
