dilated pupils after seizures

Short circuit, Dilation of pupils is effected by light, medications, oxygen supply to the brain off the top of my head.(I remember stuff from my 30 years of being a nurse,but not anything the last 5 minutes...LOL!) I noticed after my head injury that the side I hit hard dilated for awhile..likely due to swelling of my brain...but the docs were not overly concerned at my CT's were OK. If you're concerned check with your doc, paticularly if you've hit your head or if your seizures or auras have changed. Never hurts to run stuff by our neuros I figure.
