Abstract

Posttraumatic epilepsy is one of the most clinically disturbing and, to date, difficult predictive factors associated with head trauma. The risk of developing seizures after head trauma depends on several factors. This article explores the mechanisms and biochemical effects of brain injury, their relationship to developing seizures, antiepileptic prophylaxis, and neuroprotective pharmacologic therapy.
