Early EEG Predicts Poststroke Epilepsy
Bentes, C; Martins, H; Peralta, AR; Morgado, C; Casimiro, C; Franco, AC; Fonseca, AC; Geraldes, R; Canhão, P; Pinho e Melo, T; Paiva, T; Ferro, JObjective: Electroencephalography (EEG) can identify biomarkers of epileptogenesis and ictogenesis. However, few studies have used EEG in the prediction of poststroke seizures. Our primary aim was to evaluate whether early EEG abnormalities can predict poststroke epilepsy. Methods: A prospective study of consecutive acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients, without previous epileptic seizures, who we...
Quantitative EEG and Functional Outcome Following Acute Ischemic Stroke
Bentes, C; Peralta, AR; Viana, P; Martins, H; Morgado, C; Casimiro, C; Franco, AC; Fonseca, AC; Geraldes, R; Canhão, P; Pinho e Melo, T; Paiva, TObjective: To identify the most accurate quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) predictor(s) of unfavorable post-ischemic stroke outcome, and its discriminative capacity compared to already known demographic, clinical and imaging prognostic markers. Methods: Prospective cohort of 151 consecutive anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients followed for 12 months. EEG was recorded within 72 h and at discha...
Epilepsia Partialis Continua After an Anterior Circulation Ischaemic Stroke
Bentes, C; Franco, AC; Peralta, A; Viana, P; Martins, H; Morgado, C; Casimiro, C; Fonseca, C; Geraldes, R; Canhão, P; Pinho e Melo, T; Paiva, TBackground and purpose: Although cerebrovascular disorders are the main cause of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) in adulthood, the frequency of EPC after stroke is unknown. The aim was to prospectively ascertain its frequency 1 year after an ischaemic stroke. Methods: This was a prospective study of consecutive acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients, previously independent, with an admission Na...
Post-Stroke Seizures Are Clinically Underestimated
Bentes, C; Martins, H; Peralta, AR; Casimiro, C; Morgado, C; Franco, AC; Fonseca, AC; Geraldes, R; Canhão, P; Pinho e Melo, T; Paiva, T; Ferro, JMCerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of epilepsy in adults, although post-stroke seizures reported frequency is variable and few studies used EEG in their identification. To describe and compare EEG and clinical epileptic manifestations frequency in patients with an anterior circulation ischaemic stroke. Prospective study of acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients, consecutively admitted to...
Seizures, Electroencephalographic Abnormalities, and Outcome of Ischemic Stroke...
Bentes, C; Peralta, AR; Martins, H; Casimiro, C; Morgado, C; Franco, AC; Viana, P; Fonseca, AC; Geraldes, R; Canhão, P; Pinho E Melo, T; Paiva, TOBJECTIVE: Seizures and electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities have been associated with unfavorable stroke functional outcome. However, this association may depend on clinical and imaging stroke severity. We set out to analyze whether epileptic seizures and early EEG abnormalities are predictors of stroke outcome after adjustment for age and clinical/imaging infarct severity. METHODS: A prospective study ...
