Post-stroke epilepsy in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is defined as “recurrent seizures following stroke with confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy”. Our objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic PSE aspects at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital, the main reference centre for neurological conditions in Burkina Faso. We conducted a re trospective study from January 2006 to December 2014. The data on thirty-two (32) cases of PSE was collected from a total of 1616 patients hospitalized for stroke, representing a rate of 1.98%.
