The incidence of sport-related concussion (SRC) continues to rise. Presentations of concussed athletes vary from subtle symptoms to notable signs. Between the 4th and 5th iterations of the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) guidelines, concussive convulsions were removed as a modifying factor, but
To analyze seizure-like motor phenomena immediately occurring after concussion (concussive convulsions).
Twenty-five videos of concussive convulsions were obtained from YouTube as a result of numerous sports-related search terms. The videos were analyzed by four independent observers, documenting
Concussive convulsions (CC) are nonepileptic phenomena which are an immediate sequelae of concussive brain injury. Although uncommon, occurring with an approximate incidence of 1 case per 70 concussions, these episodes are often confused with post-traumatic epilepsy which may occur with more severe
OBJECTIVE
To determine the type and outcome of early post-traumatic seizures in children and the factors associated with it.
METHODS
A prospective observational study on all consecutive children with head injuries at the General Hospital Kuala Lumpur between November 1993 and December 1994. The
Epilepsy is a significant but potentially preventable complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous research in animal models of acquired epilepsy has implicated the calcium-sensitive phosphatase, calcineurin. In addition, our lab recently found that calcineurin activity in the rat
BACKGROUND
Concussive convulsions are motor manifestations in acute head injury. This clinical phenomenon should be distinguished from epileptic seizures. We present two young men with motor and convulsive manifestations in acute head injury. Patient 1. A 18-year old basketball player fell on the
Immediate concussive convulsions are an unusual but dramatic sequela to head injuries. Previously believed to be an epileptic phenomenon, they are now thought to be a brief traumatic functional decerebration that results from loss of cortical inhibition. With concussive convulsions generally
OBJECTIVE
To study the ictal phenomenology, aetiology, and outcome of convulsions occurring within seconds of impact in violent collision sport.
METHODS
Retrospective identification of convulsions associated with concussive brain injury from case records from medical officers of football clubs over
Although levetiracetam is used for the prevention of early Post-traumatic seizures (EPTS) after traumatic brain injury (TBI), limited data exist describing the incidence of seizures in pediatric patients receiving levetiracetam prophylaxis. The objective of this research is to evaluate OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy and safety of lacosamide versus phenytoin for seizure prophylaxis following TBI.
METHODS
All TBI patients who received prophylaxis with either phenytoin or lacosamide were retrospectively identified. The incidence of seizures within the first 7 days of injury were
BACKGROUND
Post-traumatic seizure is a well-known and serious complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The incidence and risk factors vary among study populations. Very little data have been published concerning this in the Malaysian population. The aim of this study was to ascertain the risk
OBJECTIVE
Traumatic brain injury is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The role of prophylactic anti-epileptic drugs has been established. Phenytoin used traditionally for this purpose carries a burden of adverse reactions and cumbersome need of monitoring and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence and risk factors of early post-traumatic seizures (PTS) in Nigerian subjects.
METHODS
Subjects were recruited consecutively, classified as mild, moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and followed for 168 hrs for development of seizures.
RESULTS
There
A randomised, controlled, double-blind clinical trial designed to determine the effectiveness of phenytoin in preventing epilepsy in patients who had suffered a serious head injury is reported. One hundred and sixty-four patients were randomly assigned to treatment with phenytoin or placebo capsules
BACKGROUND
Labor intensive electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis is a major bottleneck to identifying anti-epileptogenic treatments in experimental models of post-traumatic epilepsy. We aimed to develop an algorithm for automated seizure detection in experimental post-traumatic
