Acute Symptomatic Seizure Associated With Chronic Antiseizure Medication Use After Stroke
Discussion
Chronic ASM use is highly associated with electrographic, rather than convulsive, ASyS. However, long-term ASM use is independently associated with PSE and its risk factors, including convulsive ASyS. With the ubiquity of stroke-related ASyS concerns in routine clinical practice, comparative effectiveness studies to guide ASM management are needed.
