In a series of 2.980 brain-injured patients, 84 (2.8%) showed epileptic seizures. Epilepsy occurred with a higher incidence rate in operated patients (11.6%) than in non operated ones (1.2%). Seizures appeared within the first week since trauma in 91% of the cases. They have been single in 48%, recurring in 34%, with figures of status epilepticus in 16% partial in 61%, and GM in 33%. Prognosis quoad vitam of early epilepsy seems to be favourable, however, in severely brain-injured patients, seizures occur more frequently and may determine a worsening of the clinical picture even if they are not responsible for the death.
在2980例脑损伤患者中，84例（2.8%）出现癫痫发作。接受手术治疗的患者癫痫发生率（11.6%）高于未接受手术治疗的患者（1.2%）。91%的病例在创伤后的第一周内出现癫痫发作。其中，48%为单次发作，34%为复发，16%为癫痫持续状态；61%为部分性发作，33%为全面性发作。早期癫痫的生命预后似乎较好，然而，在重度脑损伤患者中，癫痫发作更为频繁，即使不是导致死亡的原因，也可能使临床病情恶化。
