Abstract

✓ A group of 356 patients who received head injuries in the Korean War during 1951–1953 have been reviewed with special concern for the prognostic indicators in posttraumatic epilepsy. Factors that operate in the occurrence of seizures after craniocerebral trauma are degree of brain destruction, length of coma, and, to a lesser extent, site of injury. None of these factors is related to the persistence of attacks once they have begun. For the latter, the most useful prognostic factors are derived from the time of onset and frequency of seizures.
