Preferred Label : epilepsy, post-traumatic;
MeSH definition : Recurrent seizures causally related to CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA. Seizure onset may be
immediate but is typically delayed for several days after the injury and may not occur
for up to two years. The majority of seizures have a focal onset that correlates clinically
with the site of brain injury. Cerebral cortex injuries caused by a penetrating foreign
object (CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, PENETRATING) are more likely than closed head injuries
(HEAD INJURIES, CLOSED) to be associated with epilepsy. Concussive convulsions are
nonepileptic phenomena that occur immediately after head injury and are characterized
by tonic and clonic movements. (From Rev Neurol 1998 Feb;26(150):256-261; Sports Med
1998 Feb;25(2):131-6);
