ReviewPost-traumatic seizure disorder following acquired brain injury.
The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic anticonvulsant pharmacological strategies for the prevention of seizure disorders following acquired brain injury (ABI) to provide guidance for clinical practice based on the best available evidence. ⋯ Prophylactic anti-convulsants are effective in reducing seizures in the first week post-injury in adults. However, they do not reduce the occurrence of seizures after the first week.
