Epilepsia partialis continua after an anterior circulation ischaemic stroke
ConclusionsDespite its low frequency, the high stroke incidence makes post‐stroke EPC relevant. This study draws attention to this recognizable condition with therapeutic and eventually prognostic implications.

Post-stroke seizures are clinically underestimated
AbstractCerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of epilepsy in adults, although post-stroke seizures reported frequency is variable and few studies used EEG in their identification. To describe and compare EEG and clinical epileptic manifestations frequency in patients with an anterior circulation ischaemic stroke. Prospective study of acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients, consecutively admitted to a Stroke Unit over 24  months and followed-up for 1 year. All patients underwent standardized clinical and diagnostic assessment. Seizure occurrence was clinically evaluated during hospitalization and by a ...

Bihemispheric alterations in myelination in children following unilateral perinatal stroke
Conclusion Myelination of apparently uninjured brain in both the ipsilesional and contralesional hemispheres is decreased after perinatal stroke. Differences appear to radiate outward from the lesion. Further study is needed to determine clinical significance.

A comparison of automated segmentation and manual tracing in estimating hippocampal volume in ischemic stroke and healthy control participants
Publication date: Available online 22 October 2018Source: NeuroImage: ClinicalAuthor(s): Mohamed Salah Khlif, Natalia Egorova, Emilio Werden, Alberto Redolfi, Marina Bocardi, Charles S. DeCarli, Even Fletcher, Baljeet Singh, Qi Li, Laura Bird, Amy BordtmannAbstractManual quantification of the hippocampal atrophy state and rate is time consuming and prone to poor reproducibility, even when performed by neuroanatomical experts. The automation of hippocampal segmentation has been investigated in normal aging, epilepsy, and in Alzheimer's disease. Our first goal was to compare manual and automated hippocampal segmentation in i...

Description of stroke mimics after complete neurovascular assessment
ConclusionsIn our sample, 8.8% of all diagnoses of ischaemic stroke were SM. These events have different demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics; epilepsy is the most common aetiology. Despite receiving specialised emergency care, 19 patients with SM (4.7%) were treated with intravenous fibrinolysis.ResumenIntroducciónUn porcentaje de casos diagnosticados inicialmente como infartos isquémicos son de causa no cerebrovascular o stroke mimics (SM). Los datos publicados al respecto son heterogéneos y, generalmente, con cohortes pequeñas.ObjetivoNuestro objetivo es establecer qué enfermedades cursan como SM, ...

Increased risk of post-stroke epilepsy in Chinese patients with a TRPM6 polymorphism.
CONCLUSION: The TRPM6 rs2274924 polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to epilepsy following stroke, and the C allele may be associated with increased risk of post-stroke epilepsy. The TRPM6 rs2274924 polymorphism may also influence serum levels of Mg2+ in post-stroke epilepsy patients. PMID: 30739590 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in patients with epilepsy: A systematic review of population-based cohort studies
ConclusionsPatients with epilepsy are at higher risk of subsequent stroke and MI in comparison with subjects without epilepsy. Although individual AEDs may carry different risks of cardio- and cerebrovascular disease, the clinical relevance of the metabolic effects of the enzyme-inducing AEDs is still uncertain.This article is part of the Special Issue “Seizures & Stroke

Correlation of blood biomarkers with early-onset seizures after an acute stroke event.
CONCLUSION: Higher NCAM and lower TNF-R1 levels may help predict the occurrence of early seizures. The combined use of these biomarkers and clinical variables could be useful for identifying patients at risk of seizures. "This article is part of the Special Issue "Seizures & Stroke".

Acute Ischemic Stroke or Epileptic Seizure? Yield of CT Perfusion in a "Code Stroke" Situation FUNCTIONAL
CONCLUSIONS: CTP patterns helped to differentiate acute ischemic stroke from epileptic seizure in a "code stroke" situation. Our results indicate that a hyperperfusion pattern, especially if not restricted to a vascular territory, may suggest reconsideration of intravenous thrombolysis therapy.

Acute symptomatic seizures and hippocampal sclerosis: the major contributor for post-stroke epilepsy?
AbstractObjectiveHippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a prominent biomarker of epilepsy. If acquired later in life, it usually occurs in the context of degenerative or acute inflammatory-infectious disease. Conversely, acute symptomatic seizures (ASS) are considered a risk factor for developing post-stroke epilepsy, but other factors remain unrecognized. Here, we hypothesize that silent hippocampal injury contributes to the development of post-stroke epilepsy.MethodsWe performed a retrospective observational study of patients hospitalized between 1/2007 and 12/2018 with an acute stroke in the Stroke Center of the Geneva Universit...

Improving cognitive outcomes for pediatric stroke.
Abstract PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The past 20 years have seen a 35% increase in prevalence of pediatric stroke. Contrary to widely held views, children do not recover better than adults. This review explores the impact of pediatric stroke on cognitive domains, including intellectual and executive functions, memory and behavior, and the influence of age, lesion characteristics, and comorbidities on outcome. RECENT FINDINGS: Cognitive problems occur in up to half of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke survivors. Single-center studies have shown intelligence quotient scores skewed to the lower end of the average range, wi...
