Aug 27th, 2020 - The occurrence rate of posttrauma epilepsy ranges widely from 1% to 30%. Little is known about the underlying epileptogenesis of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related epilepsy (TRE), because no comparison between TRE and TBI without epilepsy has be...

Aug 24th, 2020 - Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy, especially in young adults. Nevertheless, such patients are not common candidates for intracranial presurgical evaluation. We investigated the role of stereoelectroencephal...

Aug 13th, 2020 - To identify postinjury physiologic, behavioral, and cognitive biomarkers for posttraumatic epilepsy to enrich study populations for long-term antiepileptogenesis studies. The EPITARGET cohort with behavioral follow-up and 1-month 24/7 video-electr...

Jun 27th, 2020 - Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is defined as recurrent and unprovoked seizures occurring >1 week after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Animal studies of PTE are lengthy and expensive. In this study, we developed a cost-effective PTE animal model using...

Jun 5th, 2020 - Objective: To estimate national frequency of posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and assess injury severity (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and posttraumatic amnesia (PTA)) as prognostic factors for PTE. Data on patien...

Jul 2nd, 2020 - The severity of head injury in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is significantly linked with the risk of developing posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) and seizures, and PTE itself further worsens outcomes at 12 months, findings from an analysis of a large, ...

Jul 21st, 2015 - In a study of 256 patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), researchers showed that higher cerebral spinal fluid and serum interleukin- 1beta (IL-1β) ratios were associated with increased risk of posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE).

Jan 1st, 2011 - The VA is expecting a huge wave of posttraumatic epilepsy among its patients, according to Karen L. Parko, MD, Director of the Epilepsy Center at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, Chair of the National VA Epilepsy Centers of Excellence in San F.

SALT LAKE CITY—The incidence of epilepsy among soldiers who have experienced head trauma in the Iraq War is expected to increase, with no clearly effective strategy available to treat or prevent it, according to Daniel H. Lowenstein, MD.
