[Late epilepsy in patients with cerebrovascular pathology with a history of craniocerebral injury].

The authors examined 200 patients with various types of cerebral circulation disorders and a history of a war-time craniocerebral trauma. Twenty-six percent of patients developed late epilepsy or a recurrence of epileptic attacks in old and advanced age. A craniocerebral trauma is a risk factor for the development of late epilepsy. Groups with a "pseudotumorous" and "pseudostroke" course of vascular-traumatic epilepsy have been differentiated. The authors consider the relationship between the traumatic and vascular factors in the etiopathogenesis of "late" epilepsy.
