[Posttraumatic epilepsy: diagnosis and clinical variety]
Abstract:
125 patients with posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) were examined using methods of neurovisualization (CT and MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), including brain mapped EEG. The research resulted in the conclusion about heterogeneity of the disease. Differential diagnostic criteria were elaborated for three clinical variations of symptomatic epilepsy of the traumatic genesis. Besides, the second variation was a real PTE, with the most clear clinical signs. The knowledge about the ambiguous clinical pattern of the disease may improve therapy and prognosis, evaluate both physical and occupational abilities of the patients more objectively.
