p84: intractable post-traumatic epilepsy: clinical analysis of patients with blunt and penetrating head injuries sustained in war
نویسندگان
چکیده
post-traumatic epileptic seizure is a common complication of brain trauma including military injuries. we present clinical characteristics and correlates of post-traumatic epilepsy in 163 head-injured veterans suffering from intractable epilepsy due to blunt or penetrating head injuries sustained during the iraq-iran war. the medical records of 163 war veterans who were admitted by the epilepsy department of the shefa neuroscience center between 2005 and 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. the mean follow-up period after developing epilepsy was 17.2 years. the time interval between the trauma and the first seizure was shorter and the seizure frequency was higher in epileptic patients suffering from penetrating head trauma. there was no difference in seizure type between epileptic patients traumatised by blunt or penetrating injury. patients with seizure frequency of more than 30 per month mostly had simple partial seizure. frontal and parietal semiologies were observed more frequently in patients with penetrating trauma, whereas patients with blunt trauma showed a higher temporal semiology. the most common brain lesion observed by ct scan was encephalomalacia followed by porencephaly and focal atrophy. there was no association between intracerebral retained fragments and different characteristic features of epilepsy. patients with military brain injury carry a high risk of intractable post-traumatic epilepsy decades after their injury, and thus require a long-term medical follow-up.

15 صفحه اولTraumatic epilepsy after closed head injuries.
It has long been known that epilepsy may follow injury to the head. The relationship between the two events has been worked out in some detail for missile wounds of the head by Wagstaffe (1928), Ascroft (1941), and Russell and Whitty (1952), to mention but a few of many such studies, the opportunities for which were provided by the two world wars. The well-defined injury made study precise, and...

BACKGROUND The aims of this prospective observational study were to describe early hemodynamic patterns of blunt and penetrating truncal injury and to evaluate outcomes prediction using noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring with a mathematical model tested against actual in-hospital outcomes. The hypothesis was that traumatic shock is a circulatory disorder that can be monitored by noninvasive hem...

The incidence of urethral injuries in reports from Vietnam indicates a moderate variability. Salvatierra and colleagues reported 14 urethral injuries in 252 urological war injuries for an incidence of 5.6%, whereas Selikowitz reported 25 urethral injuries in 250 urological injuries for an incidence of approximately 10%. (Actually, Selikowitz’s incidence would be higher if he had included anteri...
