Seizure : the journal of the British Epilepsy Association

We examined the incidence of seizures following ischemic stroke in a community-based sample. ⋯ Seizures occurred in approximately 5% of subjects after an ischemic stroke. One third of these seizures occurred in the first 24h after stroke and none followed lacunar strokes. Focal seizures with or without evolution in bilateral convulsive seizures were the most common seizure type. Moderate and severe disability was predictive of incident seizures.
