Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a common complication after stroke, yet treatment options remain limited. While many physicians prescribe antiepileptic drugs (AED) for secondary prevention of PSE, it is unclear which treatments are most effective in the prevention of recurrence of symptoms, or whether such therapy is needed for primary prevention. This review discusses the current understanding of epidemiology, diagnoses, mechanisms, risk factors, and treatments of PSE.
中风后癫痫(PSE)是中风后常见的并发症,但治疗选择仍然有限。虽然许多医生开抗癫痫药物(AED)用于PSE的二级预防,但尚不清楚哪种治疗方法对预防症状复发最有效,或者一级预防是否需要这种治疗。本综述讨论了目前对PSE的流行病学、诊断、机制、危险因素和治疗的理解。
