Post-traumatic Epilepsy and Eeg Abnormality in Depressed Fractures
نویسنده
چکیده
Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is the most important problem in patients who are able to return to a normal life after head injuries. Depressed fractures are commonly accepted as risk factors increasing development of PTE. In this study PTE was found in 9 % of 122 patients with depressed fractures and 3 % in 200 patients with closed head injury. PTE was found to significantly increased in patients with complicated depressed fractures (p 0.05). There was a weak relationship between anti-convulsant therapy and PTE development. EEG abnormalities' were more common in cases with depressed fractures even in non-convulsive patients (p 0.05).

The incidence of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), that is, persistent seizure activity following significant head trauma, varies with the type and severity of the head injury, i.e. depressed skull fractures, haematomas, and penetrating head injuries. Many other factors also appear to determine the risks for developing PTE, such as the length of time for which a person is unconscious following the...

Fractal dimension of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal has been argued to reflect the complexity of the underlying brain processes. To this date, conventional studies of EEG in mood disorders have not been able to distinguish between patients and normal individuals. Here we show that, compared to normal subjects, EEG fractal dimension is significantly augmented in the manic episode of bi...
