Lateralized Periodic Discharges are Predictive of Seizures in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) have higher incidence of seizures. Previous studies have suggested that location and size of hemorrhage may increase epileptogenicity. We aim to evaluate seizure development risk factors from clinical examination, imaging, and continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) in critically ill patients with ICH. ⋯ We found that LPDs were predictive of seizures in ICH patients. cEEG for longer than 24 h is preferred for detection of seizures as they occurred at a mean later than 7 h and most were without clinical signs.
