Brain injury markers in new-onset seizures in adults: a pilot study

There is a need for biomarkers in epilepsy, especially markers that can be used to support diagnosis and prognostication early in the disease course. In patients with a first seizure, large structural brain lesions visible on brain imaging increase the risk of seizure recurrence [1]. Whether brain pathology capturable on a biochemical level has prognostic or diagnostic value is not known.
