Controversies in posttraumatic epilepsy

Abstract
In civilian accidents the factors involved in the origin of posttraumatic epilepsy are controversial. In this study of 506 consecutive head trauma patients and 101 epileptic patients developing seizures after head trauma, we have examined the importance of the duration of coma, type of seizure and drug therapy, time to first seizure, age and focal lesions and compared our results with the literature. The importance is stressed of focal lesions and of neurological deficits for the origin of posttraumatic seizures.
