hemiplegia, affecting one side of the body
The underlying cause of alternating hemiplegia is unknown. Benign nocturnal alternating hemiplegia of childhood is thought to be a variant of migraine headache.
Alternating hemiplegia is a very rare condition characterized by recurrent episodes of temporary paralysis.
Hemiplegia refers to the paralysis of one side of the body, typically resulting from brain injury, stroke, or neurological conditions. It affects motor function and can impact the arm, leg, and facial muscles on the affected side. Individuals with hemiplegia may experience challenges in mobility and daily activities, requiring rehabilitation and support for improved function.
There is no cure for either form of alternating hemiplegia. A drug called flunarizine has been used to treat the more severe type of alternating hemiplegia, in an effort to decrease the frequency of hemiplegic episodes.
Hemiplegia is almost always caused by brain damage on the side opposite the paralysis, often from a stroke.
Hemiplegia, which is a disease, has many symptoms. These symptoms include gait difficulty, difficulty with balance, depression, and even muscle spasms.
I have Hemiplegia and this medical condition cannot be cured because it is caused by irreversible brain damage caused by a stroke or any number of medica disorders.

Alternating hemiplegia is quite rare, with fewer than 100 diagnosed cases in the United States, and fewer than 240 diagnosed patients worldwide.
Hemiplegia is the loss of use of one side of the body, usually following cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a brain injury. Hemiplegia is not caused by damage from a blood route. Hemiplegia results following brain injury (haemorragic or ischaemic) and thus the peripheral nervous system tracts which come from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) may be damaged, and in turn nerves that innervate specific muscles, joints, organs and other structures on one side of the the body may be damaged. For example if a person incurs an insult to their left cerebral hemisphere in their brain, the motor and sensory tracts that run from the brain into the body - occur on the opposite side as they pass through the mid brain - and therefore this persons right side will be affected.
