Primary prophylaxis of seizures in post-hemorrhagic stroke rehabilitation patients

This study confirms the association between the severity of brain damage and seizures, and supports the notion that long-term prophylaxis with ASMs might not prevent the onset of US and epilepsy after HS. Our findings reinforce the recommendations by the European Stroke Organization and the American Heart Association, and expand the rationale of not using ASMs as primary prophylaxis in post-HS rehabilitation patients.
