摘要：
The occurrence of seizures in the first week after traumatic brain injury is a well known phenomenon and requires the physician to address several issues in the management of patients with such an injury. There is a wide range in the reported incidence of clinical seizures after brain injury. An incidence of 5 to 15% is often quoted, although the incidence can be higher (20 to 24%) if non-convulsive electroencephalographic (EEG) criteria for seizures are used. The main clinical risk factors for seizures are younger age, greater severity of brain injury and subdural haematoma and penetrating wounds.
