Peculiarities of formation and clinical course of symptomatic epilepsy as a result of cranial injury

Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a formidable and frequent consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the long term. 41 patients with PTE were examined, mostly men working age. The time formation after was 14.3 ± 1.4 months, which decreased depending on severity injury, average frequency seizures 2.93 0.8 per month.Focal mainly registered (63.4%, p <0.05), taking into account focal onset bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, this figure reached 90.2% (p <0.05). Among selected syndromes, except for direct PTE, autonomic dysfunctions (87.8%) paroxysmal course (58.5%) prevailed, especially persons moderate trauma (r = 0.51, <0.05).Typical comorbid symptoms people cognitive deficits, correlated TBI, as well depressive anxiety symptoms. Depressive layers more often observed presence component (94.7%, temporal localization pathological process predominant vagotonia. Anxiety manifestations affected all types attacks background sympathicotonia (83.3%, our opinion improved implementation crisis conditions, 66.7% cases.
