ETIOLOGY AND SEMIOLOGY OF POST STROKE SEIZURES

Dr. Sritharan B, Dr. Justin C

Abstract :

 According to existing literature, the incidence of post stroke seizure in India is 13 %.  There have been very few studies about post stroke seizures in the India. We did a study to determine the time of occurrence, semiology and impact of comorbid conditions and mortality, in relation to seizure. We found that partial seizures are the commonest post stroke seizures. Early onset seizures are more common than late onset. Seizures are more common with cortical and larger lesions.  Late onset seizures are more likely to recur.
