Risk of Epilepsy Following a First Posttraumatic Seizure
Severity of the injury and latency are major modulators of epilepsy risk following a first PTS. The risk was high in the most severe types of TBI, but a substantial proportion did not develop epilepsy, highlighting the need for further research on prognostication and biomarkers, as well as caution in diagnosing epilepsy based on a first PTS.
