Abstract
Epilepsy as a result of stroke is currently the most rapidly increasing form of epilepsy. The risk of post-stroke epileptogenesis is higher after haemorrhagic stroke than after ischemic stroke. We provide here a brief clinical review of the topic to highlight the misinterpretation and undertreatment of focal epileptic seizures in stroke patients. Correct diagnosis and treatment are important because recurrent epileptic seizures can reduce quality of life and hinder rehabilitation.
