Clinical Study on 66 Cases of Cerebrovascular Disease with Secondary Epilepsy

Objective:To discuss the relationship between cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and its secondary epilepsy. Methods:66 cases of cerebrovascular disease with epilepsy were summarized and analysed.Results:Among the patients,there were 43 cases of early epilepsy,23 cases of late epilepsy.Most lesion location existed in the cerebral lobe(47/66).Most of them showed overall onset of epilepsy;however,after medication,having better therapeutic effects.Conclusion:Cerebrovascular disease is one of the main causes in secondary epilepsy.Most patients with early epilepsy needn't take antiepileptic drugs for a long time, but patients with late epilepsy have to.The death rate of the patients with cerebrovascular disease in acute epilepsy onset group are higher than that in non-epilepsy group,and sustaining status of epilepticus shows that patient's condition was serious and had poor prognosis.
