- Abstract:
- Seventy-two patients with postischemic seizures were evaluated with electroencephalography (EEG), computerized tomography (CT) and neurosonography. There were 24% early-onset and 76% late-onset initial seizures. Early-onset seizure was more likely to be simple partial (53%), whereas late-onset seizure was more likely to be primarily generalized (56%). 76% early-onset and 80% late-onset seizures were single. Status epilepticus was more frequent in early-onset that late-onset seizures (p = 0.023). The possibility of recurrence was greater in late-onset than early-onset seizures (p < 0.001). 88% patients had EEG abnormalities, and the most common finding was focal slowing. 75% patients had cerebral infarctions on CT scan, and the majority of them involved cortex. 89% postischemic seizures had carotid lesions which mostly were carotid plaques < 50%. We failed to find these data to be useful in predicting the time of onset of initial seizures after acute ischemic stroke and recurrence.
