Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a major long-term complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). PTE usually develops within 5 years of head injury. The risk for developing PTE varies with TBI type. Both Korean and Vietnam war veterans with penetrating TBI had a 53% risk of developing PTE. The risk of developing PTE is between 10% and 25% in combat-associated closed-head trauma with positive bra...

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional results of arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients with posttraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability Method: Forty one patients (6 female, 35 male; mean age 24.4; range 19 to 39 years) underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with knotless anchors for posttraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. The mean age t...

PROBLEM Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of epilepsy. We need to understand its frequency and its contribution to the total spectrum of the convulsive disorders. METHODS A review of selected articles dealing with epilepsy after brain trauma was undertaken. RESULTS The number of epidemiologic studies of posttraumatic seizures has increased substantially over the past 40-50 years...

INTRODUCTION Brain infarction after trauma is uncommon. Injury of the carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries can cause brain infarction due to occlusion of brain blood flow. CASE PRESENTATION Emergency medical service (EMS) brought a 4-year-old girl involved in a car accident to the emergency room. She had had seizure controlled by diazepam. She was unconscious and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe similarities and differences in epidemiological, psychiatric and semiologic variables between patients with psychogenic none epileptic seizures (PNES) and comorbid epilepsy (mixed PNES), and patients with PNES without comorbid epilepsy (pure PNES). RESULTS Forty-three patients with PNES diagnosed by Video-EEG were included. Twenty-four had pure PNE...

A 12 year old male had a secondarily generalized epileptic seizure and a subsequent right hemiparesis with fasciobrachial predominance after a closed head injury. His seizures responded to antiepileptic drug therapy immediately. Computerized tomographic scanning and magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute infarct of the head of the left caudate nucleus, indicating the isolated occlusion of t...
