Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and some risk factors for poststroke seizures. 2231 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with stroke in 40 different Neurology Clinics in our country in one year period were included in this study. Epileptic seizures were only developed in 54 male and 58 female patients (% 5.02). In 38 (% 34) of those patients seizures occured during sleep and while 78 (% 66) of them presented seizure while awake. According to vascular pathology; one patient (% 0.89) had transient ischemic attack, 53 (% 47.32) had ishemic stroke and 58 (% 51.78) had hemorrhagic stroke. Of the patients, 32 (% 28.6) had previous stroke story, 85 (% 75.9) had hypertension and 18 (% 16.1) had diabetes mellitus. There is no statistical differencies according to sex and age (p>0.05). Hemorrhagic stroke had higher risk for poststroke seizures than ischemic stroke (p<0.05). Although hypertention, diabetes mellitus and previous stroke story were important risk factors for stroke, they -were not found as a risk factor for poststroke seizures (p>0.05). On the other hand, poststroke seizures were observed higher frequency in regular antidiabetic drug user patients with diabetes and stroke (p<0.05). Contrary to this result, poststroke seizures were lower incidence at regular antihypertensive drug user patients with stroke and hypertention (p>0.05).
Özet
Çalışmamızın amacı ülkemizde inme sonrası epileptik nöbet görülme oranını ve risk faktörlerini saptamaktır. Bu amaçla bir yıl süre ile ülkemizin değişik 40 Nöroloji kliniğinde inme tanısı konulmuş birbirini izleyen 2231 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların 54'ü erkek, 58'i kadın olmak üzere toplam 112'sinde (% 5.02) epileptik nöbet saptandı. Hastaların 38'i (% 34) uykuda, 74'ü (% 66) uyanık iken nöbet geçirmişti. Vasküler patolojiye göre sınıflandırıldığında; birinde (% 0.89) geçici iskemik atak, 53'ünde (% 47.32) iskemik inme, 58'inde (% 51.78) hemorajik inme vardı. Nöbet geçiren olgularda inme risk faktörlerinden 85'inde (% 75.9) hipertansiyon, 32'sinde (% 28.6) eski inme, 18'inde (% 16.1) diabetes mellitus saptandı. Epileptik nöbet yönünden hastalarda yaş ve cinsiyet arasında fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Hemorajik inmeler iskemik olanlardan daha fazla epileptik nöbet riski taşıyordu (p 0.05). Ayrıca diabetes mellitus nedeniyle düzenli antidiabetik kullananlarda inme sonrası epileptik nöbet görülme riski yüksek bulundu (p 0.05).
