    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 70 cases of posttramatic epilepsy is undertaken. The clinical and electroencephalographic characteristics are analyzed and it is emphasized: (1) The predominance of generalized seizures over focal fits, and among these last, the higher incidence of motor seizures are stressed. (2) The incidence of early seizures was of 5% in this series. (3) The occurrence of epilepsy usually was within 2 years after head injury. (4) Frequent correlation between the clinical course and the EEG is noted. A brief bibliographical review on the subject is presented, and the importance of a prospective study in the value of anticonvulsive drugs in prevention of posttramatic epilepsy is underlined.
