Impact of Poststroke Seizures on Neurological Deficits: Magnetic Resonance Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Study

Abstract

Poststroke seizures may affect poststroke sequelae transiently, which we see more often, but some seizure types may prolong the duration of deficits. Multiple DWI changes and LLW following recurrent and longer poststroke seizures were strongly associated, and this may be due to the effect of seizures causing additional metabolical changes.
