Cortical Involvement of a Recent Infarct Contralateral to Early Focal Seizures in Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Objective To investigate the frequency and clinical characteristics of ischemic stroke patients with early seizures, especially with cortical involvement contralateral to their focal seizures. Methods We retrospectively studied patients with ischemic stroke admitted to our hospital. We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with and without early seizures (occurring within seven days of the stroke onset). In addition, we divided the patients with early focal seizures into two groups (patients with and without cortical involvement of a recent infarct contralateral to their focal seizure) and compared the clinical characteristics of the groups. Results Of the 5,806 patients with ischemic stroke, 65 (1.2%) were diagnosed with early seizures. A history of ischemic stroke [odds ratio
