Epileptic activity in neurological deterioration after ischemic stroke, a continuous EEG study.

CONCLUSIONS: Non-convulsive seizures /non-convulsive status epilepticus /periodic discharges are associated to neurological deterioration after ischemic stroke.
SIGNIFICANCE: Treatment of Non-convulsive seizures /non-convulsive status epilepticus and periodic discharges, if such patterns are detected, could help prevent adverse metabolic consequences of epileptic activities on ischemic brain tissue.
