Abstract

The incidence of stroke in Ukraine is growing every year, a number of medical events are aimed at combating the consequences of a stroke. Post-stroke epilepsy not only becomes another burden for the patient, but also complicates his physical and psychological rehabilitation. Therefore, the question of timely and adequate treatment of post-stroke epilepsy is a topical problem in modern neurology. According to the results of our study, in 16 % of patients, suffered stroke, in the period up to 6 months, there was at least one epileptic saizure. The second epileptic saizure occurred in 27.1 % of patients after application of PEP and in 53.75 % of patients – in the absence of such therapy. These results are the basis for further studies and possible recommendations for the appointment of PEP after the first epileptic seizure in patients who have suffered a stroke.
