[Epileptic seizures in patients with vascular brain lesions].
In a group of 1621 patients with vascular brain lesions (849 males, 772 females) the authors found seizures in 108 cases (56 males, 52 females): in 26 cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage (aneurysms), 6 cerebral haemorrhages, 24 cerebral arterial thromboses, 18 atherosclerosis of brain vessels, 13 cases of embolia, 4 cases of transient cerebral ischaemia, 4 cases of vertebrobasilar insufficiency, 4 cases of cerebrocardiac syndromes, 2 cases of cerebral form of the Winiwarter-Buerger disease and 1 cases each of cerebellar haemorrhage and aortic arch syndrome. In 8 cases family history of epilepsy was elicited. The authors suggest administration of anticonvulsants in justified cases.
