“…Drugs proven to be of value in preventing seizures from other causes, however, are recommended for patients who have had more than 1 seizure after stroke. 204 Routine prophylactic administration of anticonvulsant drugs to stroke survivors who have not had seizures should be avoided. 13 A study of 3552 SAH patients in 21 countries found that anticonvulsant drugs were commonly used but were associated with more in-hospital complications and poorer outcomes.…”

“…10 A retrospective study also pointed out that early-onset seizures did not require long-term antiepileptic therapy to prevent recurrence in adults. 11 However, children with early-onset seizures had a much higher risk of subsequent recurrent seizures. Therefore, the management of early-onset seizures might be different between adults and children, and further studies are needed.…”

Background and Purpose— Early-onset seizures are common in children with arterial ischemic stroke, but the clinical features and effects on the outcome of early-onset seizures have been less studied in children. Methods— Children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting with first-time and image-confirmed arterial ischemic stroke were identified for analysis. Results— A total of 78 survivors of arterial ischemic stroke were enrolled. Twenty (25.6%) had early-onset seizures, and 90% were initial presentation. Younger children (mean, 3.4±3.9 versus 9.0±6.2 years; P <0.001) and cortical involvement (5% versus 63.8%; P =0.01) are more likely to have early-onset seizures. Thirteen of 20 survivors with early-onset seizures had late-onset seizures after the acute stage, and 12 of them were diagnosed as poststroke epilepsy. Conclusions— Early-onset seizures occurred in 25.6% of children with arterial ischemic stroke. Younger age and cortical involvement were risk factors for early-onset seizures. Sixty-five percent of children with early-onset seizures had late-onset seizures after the acute stage.

“…Nöbetlerin inmeden sonra ilk 2 hafta içinde olması erken dönem, daha sonra ortaya çıkışı geç dönem epilepsi olarak tanımlanmaktadır (8,10,16,17). Bu tanıma göre çalışmamızdaki hastalarda nöbetler, 3'ünde erken dönemde, 1'inde geç dönem ortaya çıkmıştı.…”

“…Literatürde ön sistem infarktlarıyla ilişkili epileptik nöbetlerle ilgili çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmalarda inme sonrası epileptik nöbet gelişiminde kortikal tutulumun önemli bir risk faktörü olduğu, anterior sirkülasyona ait infarktlarda özellikle de orta serebral arter sulama alanında, temporal-paryetal bölgedeki kortikal tutulumlu inmelerden sonra nöbetlerin daha sık görüldüğü bildirilmektedir (7,8,9,10).…”
