  • Title: [Post-traumatic intracranial bleeding in epilepsy].
    Author: Radomska M, Lebski J.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1976; 10(2):261-6. PubMed ID: 1264344.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe 11 cases of intracranial haemorrhage developing during grand mal attacks. The attacks were frequent or very frequent, sometimes they were connected with withdrawal of anticonvulsant treatment or alcohol abuse. In the clinical pattern of changes disturbances of consciousness predominated together with signs of increasing intracranial pressure. In only one case subarachnoid haemorrhage was recognized, in the remaining cases multiple or single intracranial haematomas were found and treated successfully surgically. The possibility of traumatic origin of intracranial haemorrhages may be suggested by presence of cranial fractures. In the material of the authors intracranial bleedings were present in 40.2% of epileptic patients who suffered craniocerebral injury during a seizure.
