Possible Causes

Stroke

Our primary aim was to evaluate whether early EEG abnormalities can predict poststroke epilepsy. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Patients with a history of epilepsy before the stroke (n 19) or who died in the first day after the stroke (n 17) were excluded from these analyses. [doi.org]

The primary outcome was the occurrence of at least one unprovoked seizure (poststroke epilepsy). [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
