متن کاملYield of EEG After a First Unprovoked Seizure
New diagnostic criteria define epilepsy as a disorder of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures. Two factors are associated with an increased risk of relapse: the presence of a cerebral lesion and epileptiform abnormalities (EA) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). In this paper we focus on the risk of relapse after a first unprovoked seizure; we revi...

متن کاملRisk of recurrence after a first unprovoked seizure.
The risk of recurrence after a first unprovoked seizure has been examined in numerous observational studies and two large, high-quality randomized trials. Overall, in untreated individuals, 40-50% can expect a recurrence within 2 years of the initial seizure. Treatment may reduce this risk by as much as half. Those at the greatest risk of recurrence have either an abnormal EEG or an identifiabl...
متن کاملSeizure recurrence after a 1st unprovoked seizure: an extended follow-up.
We followed 208 patients identified on the day of their 1st unprovoked seizure for a mean duration of 4 years. Seizures recurred in 64. Recurrence risks were estimated to be 14%, 29%, and 34% at 1, 3, and 5 years following the 1st episode. A history of previous neurologic insult (remote symptomatic) was associated with a 2.5-fold increased risk of recurrence. Among idiopathic cases, a sibling w...
