Post-traumatic epileptic seizures are a frequent occurrence following severe brain injury, but the onset of seizures may be delayed for some time after the injury, implying some form of epileptogenesis occurs in the intervening time. Post-traumatic epileptic seizures are a frequent occurrence following severe brain injury, but the onset of seizures may be delayed for some time after the injury, implying some form of epileptogenesis occurs in the intervening time. The risk of post-traumatic seizures increases from the lowest risk with just head trauma where there are mainly soft tissue injuries (CT reconstruction showing mandibular and maxillary separation, arrowed in [a]), to a moderate risk if there are skull fractures (CT imaging of frontal sinus trauma with fluid opacity within the arrowed frontal sinus in [b]), to the highest risk if there is direct brain injury (CT imaging of a skull fracture arrowed in [c], and the resulting brain haemorrhage in the same patient arrowed in [d])‏ Jacques Penderis In Practice 2014;36:3-9 Copyright © British Veterinary Association.
