Nonconvulsive Seizures of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients
Seizures are common consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and have been reported in clinical series as an incidence of 15% to 22% in patients of traumatic brain injury. Nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) are also common that approximately 10% of patients have been suffered from electroencephalographically detected seizures during the acute period of TBI. Early posttraumatic seizures are one cau...

متن کاملNonconvulsive Seizures and Dementia: A Case Report
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a severe medical condition that shows increased incidence in the elderly and is frequently underdiagnosed because of its pleomorphic presentation.

متن کاملNonconvulsive seizures after subarachnoid hemorrhage: Multimodal detection and outcomes.
OBJECTIVE Seizures have been implicated as a cause of secondary brain injury, but the systemic and cerebral physiologic effects of seizures after acute brain injury are poorly understood. METHODS We analyzed intracortical electroencephalographic (EEG) and multimodality physiological recordings in 48 comatose subarachnoid hemorrhage patients to better characterize the physiological response to...
