Research progress on epilepsy after reperfusion therapy in ischemic stroke
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 10
Abstract
There is no unified international guidelines or consensus on seizures and epilepsy following acute stroke reperfusion therapy so far. In this review, we briefly summarize its definitions and mechanisms. Post stroke epilepsy after reperfusion treatment is defined as patients with ischemic stroke who have received intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular therapy, without other definitive causes or epilepsy history before stroke, have at least two epileptic seizures occurred within 7 days of stroke onset, or at least one epileptic seizures occurred within 30 days of stroke onset. The incidence rate of epilepsy after intravenous thrombolysis is about 6.4%-20.6%, and arterial thrombectomy is about 5%. The pathophysiological mechanism of post stroke epilepsy after reperfusion treatment may be related to local hyperfusion, epileptogenic properties of tPA and hemorrhagic transformation. Higher stroke severity, cortical involvement, middle cerebral artery infarction, and early post-stroke seizures may be predictive factors for post-stroke epilepsy after reperfusion therapy. Levetiracetam and lamotrigine may be effective drugs for post-stroke epilepsy after reperfusion therapy. Sustained seizures after thrombolysis may increase the risk of death.
