Abstract
When evaluating seizure in war veterans, distinguishing new-onset hemiparesis with aphasia from stroke can be challenging due to prior brain injury and anticonvulsant therapy. This case involves a patient with a shrapnel injury displaying stroke-symptoms after a seizure highlights the differences between stroke and seizure-related deficits in this population. Careful consideration of imaging, history and clinical presentation are essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
