Acute symptomatic seizures and epilepsy after mechanical thrombectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of PSE after mechanical thrombectomy was low in our cohort. All blood biomarkers displayed interesting sensitivity and specificity. However, the number of PSE cases was small and more studies are needed on risk factors for PSE after mechanical thrombectomy. The potential of blood markers of brain injury markers to contribute to assessment of PSE risk should be explored further. This article is part of the Special Issue "Seizures & Stroke".
