Svensk definition
Återkommande anfall som har samband med skallskada. Krampanfall kan inträffa omedelbart, men det typiska är att debuten dröjer flera dagar efter den primära skadan, eller t o m ett par år. Flertalet krampanfall har en fokal debut som är kliniskt korrelerad med platsen för hjärnskadan. Hjärnbarksskador orsakade av genomträngande skallskada är oftare förknippade med epilepsi än vad slutna skallskador är. Hjärnskakningskonvulsioner är icke-epileptiska fenomen som uppträder i direkt anslutning till skallskada och kännetecknas av toniska och kloniska rörelser.
Engelsk definition
Recurrent seizures causally related to CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA. Seizure onset may be immediate but is typically delayed for several days after the injury and may not occur for up to two years. The majority of seizures have a focal onset that correlates clinically with the site of brain injury. Cerebral cortex injuries caused by a penetrating foreign object (CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, PENETRATING) are more likely than closed head injuries (HEAD INJURIES, CLOSED) to be associated with epilepsy. Concussive convulsions are nonepileptic phenomena that occur immediately after head injury and are characterized by tonic and clonic movements.
