Abstract

The occurrence of epileptic seizures and epilepsy after stroke is an example of their close relationship with cerebrovascular pathology. According to various researchers, incidence of epileptic seizures in all stroke patients lies between 3-6 and 12%. Post-stroke seizures can occur in the acute period of a stroke or later. Post-stroke epilepsy is associated with significant decrease of the quality of life, and slowing of the household, social and professional adaptation. Terminological, epidemiological, pathophysiological aspects, risk factors and predictors of post-stroke epileptic seizures and epilepsy are discussed in this article.
