Stroke after adult-onset epilepsy: A population-based retrospective cohort study
Conclusion Adult-onset epilepsy at age 35 and older warrants consideration for occult cerebrovascular disease as an etiology of the epilepsy, which may also increase the risk of subsequent stroke. Somatic comorbidities frequently associated with epilepsy include comorbid conditions that share the same underlying pathology with stroke (i.e., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, myocardial infarction, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis). This increased risk of stroke in patients with adult-onset epilepsy should dictate the evaluation and management of stroke risk factors to prevent stroke.

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
ConclusionHigher 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”

Incidence of early poststroke seizures during reperfusion therapies in patients with acute ischemic stroke: An observational prospective study: (TESI study: “Trombolisi/Trombectomia e crisi Epilettiche precoci nello Stroke Ischemico”)
ConclusionThe incidence of early poststroke seizures was overall rare, and no significant differences emerged between patients receiving and those not receiving reperfusion therapies.This article is part of the Special Issue “Seizures and Stroke”.

Younger age at stroke onset but not thrombolytic treatment predicts poststroke epilepsy: An updated meta-analysis
ConclusionDespite limitations due to the uneven quality and design of the studies, the present meta-analysis confirms that cortical involvement, hemorrhagic component, and ES are associated with a higher risk of PSE. In this update, younger age at stroke onset but not thrombolytic treatment seems to increase the risk for PSE.This article is part of the Special Issue “Seizures & Stroke”.

Reperfusion therapies and poststroke seizures
Publication date: Available online 11 November 2019Source: Epilepsy & BehaviorAuthor(s): Carla Bentes, Francesco Brigo, Johan Zelano, José M. FerroAbstractSeizures are not only a frequent complication of stroke but have been associated with an unfavorable functional and vital outcome of patients who have had stroke. Facing a new paradigm of acute standard stroke care, acute symptomatic seizures in this clinical setting deserve to be rethought.Reperfusion therapies, the gold standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke, improve long-term survival and outcome of patients who have had stroke and have been associated both wit...

Health-related quality of life in patients with poststroke epilepsy
Conclusion Lesional epilepsy is associated with decreased HrQoL in patients with stroke. We identified HrQoL-determinants, which would improve the management of patients with poststroke epilepsy. These determinants include proper adjustment of AEDs with reduction of seizure frequency, treatment of depression, and focused rehabilitation programs for poststroke epilepsy.

Cognition and quality of life in patients with poststroke epilepsy: A case–control study
ConclusionsWe found that PSE relates to impaired cognitive functioning, a lower disease-specific quality of life and more disability and neurological impairment. This underlines the importance of further clinical research in this field.This article is part of the Special Issue “Seizures & Stroke”
