intracranial aneurysm/seizures

Hallucinations are defined as sensory phenomena in the absence of external sensory stimuli. Auditory hallucinations have been shown to arise from many different intracranial lesions, but seizures manifesting as musical hallucinations triggered by unruptured intracranial aneurysms are rare. We

The efficacy of antiepileptic drug (AED) prophylaxis in patients undergoing aneurysm repair has been questioned, yet these drugs are routinely used in many institutions. To better define the relationship of AED prophylaxis to postoperative seizures, we undertook a review of 259 patients undergoing

BACKGROUND Sentinel headache is a well-known warning sign preceding subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. New-onset seizure or "sentinel seizure" preceding aneurysmal SAH, however, is uncommon. METHODS We report a 51-year-old man with a new-onset seizure.

Twenty-one patients operated on for unruptured intracranial aneurysms were studied retrospectively in order to identify the incidence of postoperative seizures, factors predictive of seizures, and the response to discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs. The overall risk of postoperative seizures in

Seizures as a presenting feature of unruptured cerebral aneurysm are unusual. We report two cases of unruptured cerebral aneurysm presented with seizures. In both cases the seizures controlled following surgical ablation of the aneurysm.

Aneurysms generally present with bleed and epileptogenic aneurysms are rare. Unruptured epilpetogenic anterior communicating artery aneurysms are extremely rare and anecdotal. We present three patients with unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms who presented with seizures and were

The impact of intraoperative cefazolin on postoperative seizures after elective repair of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm was evaluated. Chart review of a prospectively accrued database was performed for patients admitted from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2013. Patients were included in the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the parameters related to the high risk of preoperative seizures in infants (1 year or younger) with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS Infants with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at our institution from January 2012 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

BACKGROUND It is not clear whether treatment modality (clipping or coiling) affects the risk of seizures after treatment for cerebral aneurysms. OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is an increased risk of seizures after clipping vs coiling. METHODS Hospitalizations for clipping or coiling of

Intracranial aneurysm is a rare cause of seizure although few cases may develop new onset seizure following rupture of aneurysm. The causes of seizure in ruptured aneurysm may be caused due to presence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hematoma, infarct due to progressive vasospasm,

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the probability of seizures after treatment of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm by clip occlusion and coil embolization, and to identify the risks and predictors of seizures over the short- and long-term follow-up period. METHODS The study population
