Seizure is an important complication following ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in older adults. Post-stroke seizure can be classified as early late according to the onset time after stroke. There a 71% risk for further seizures unprovoked poststroke seizure, which referred epilepsy. Common factors developing epilepsy include severity, cortical involvement, and seizure.

Abstract Despite the increasing number of anti-seizure medications becoming available, proportion patients with drug-resistant epilepsy remains unchanged. Dietary therapy for is well-established practice in paediatric care, but relatively underutilised adults. Recently, international recommendations have been published to guide treatment adults receiving dietary epilepsy. This review focuses on...

Background:epilepsy is one of the common neurological disorders and approximately 0.5-1% of populations suffers from it. Unfortunately, despite of treatment by antiepileptic drugs, between 20-30% of patients cannot be controlled completely. There are a lot of supplementary therapies for this group of patients and in this study, L-arginine was used as an additional therapy...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neuroinflammatory disorders that affect more than 50 million people worldwide. Excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss leads to recurrent seizures, which are described as epilepsy. One of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), which results from hippocampal sclerosis. Cu...

  Background :Reproductive endocrine disorders and sexual dysfunction are common among men with epilepsy. We investigated sexual hormone serum levels among men with newly diagnosed epilepsy, before starting any antiepileptic drug (AED), and then after starting carbamazepine (CBZ), to determine the role and effects of epilepsy versus CBZ in creating reproductive endocrine disorders.   Methods : ...

Introduction: about 20% to 30% of patients with epilepsy are diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy and one third of these are candidates for epilepsy surgery. Surgical resection of the epileptogenic tissue is a well-established method for treating patients with intractable focal epilepsy. Determining language laterality and locality is an important part of a comprehensive epilepsy program befo...

Despite the availability of numerous antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), some epilepsies remain resistant to treatment. We compared utilization and costs in patients with uncontrolled epilepsy to those with stable epilepsy. Claims data (2007-2009) were used to identify adults with epilepsy requiring additional AED therapy (having uncontrolled epilepsy) and those not requiring additional AED therapy (ha...
