[Epilepsy in patients with ischemic brain disease].
The paper presents the results of follow-up study of 610 patients with ischemic stroke. In 52 patients (8.6%) there was observed symptomatic epilepsy conditioned by local causes (2 and more epileptic fits in anamnesis). The age of the onset of epileptic seizures was in the range 50-69 years, and men prevailed. From all 52 patients with episyndrome 36 had only one stroke, 16 patients-two and more strokes. 14 patients had fits before the stroke development. Meanwhile in 10 patients the fits were the first stroke symptoms (early) and in 28 individuals the fits arose 7 days after the stroke development (late). Significantly more severe disorders of dynamic praxis were revealed in psychologic examination of the patients with secondary generalized fits than of ones with partial seizures. Pathogenetic and clinical aspects of vascular epilepsy, interactions between transitory ischemic attacks and the fits which developed before the stroke are considered.
