    Postoperative convulsion after neurosurgery occurs in 3.1% of cases, primarily within 6 hours post-operation. Focal brain damage likely contributes to these seizures, necessitating prompt treatment for a better prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Immediate postoperative convulsion is a significant complication following neurosurgical procedures.
    • Understanding the incidence, timing, and contributing factors is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics of immediate postoperative convulsions after neurosurgery.
    • To identify risk factors and prognostic indicators for these seizures.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical analysis of 1293 consecutive neurosurgical cases at Kyoto University Hospital.
    • Evaluation of convulsion incidence, timing, type, and correlation with patient history and consciousness level.
    • Review of CT findings and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Overall incidence of postoperative convulsion was 3.1%, highest in supratentorial craniotomy (5.7%).
    • Convulsions predominantly occurred within 6 hours post-operation (77.5%), with focal seizures more common than generalized ones.
    • Seizure incidence correlated with consciousness level; status epilepticus was frequent. CT revealed mild hemorrhage or mass effect.

    Conclusions:

    • Focal brain damage during surgery is suggested as a contributor to immediate postoperative convulsions.
    • Prompt and appropriate treatment can lead to a favorable prognosis.
    • Further research is needed to clarify pathogenesis and optimize treatment strategies.
