Associations of small vessel disease and acute symptomatic seizures in ischemic stroke patients

CONCLUSION: In this cohort of hospitalized patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke, CMBs were more likely to be found in patients with ASS than those without ASS, an association that was attenuated when accounting for stroke severity, cortical infarct location, and hemorrhagic transformation. Evaluation of the long-term risk of seizures associated with CMBs and other markers of small vessel disease is warranted.PMID:37329856 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109233
