| Author | N. Abdullaeva |
| Abstract | Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Increase of epilepsy occurrence in elderly patients was first noted in 1975. Cerebrovascular diseases should be particularly noticed among various causes of the disease. However, most studies have been focused on analysis of hemorrhagic strokes. Meanwhile, the cases of ischemic strokes are of particular interest as they are associated with elderly epilepsy. 52 patients with post-stroke epilepsy were observed. Peculiarities of epileptic seizures in patients with post-stroke epilepsy have been shown, and also association between the types of seizures and the time of their development has been revealed. It has been shown that there is a group of patients with seizures - precursors. EEG peculiarities in patients with post-strokeepilepsy have been revealed. The received data of research are necessary for practitioners to improve treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. The patients with seizures, occurring before strokes, are of great interest and it is necessary to pay particular attention to these patients. |
