As a prevalent neurologic disorder, stroke has been well established as one of the most leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide [1]. Stroke is a main cause of acute symptomatic seizures and epilepsy in patients older than 65 years old [2]. Due to a large prevalence of stroke in the ageing population, post-stroke seizures (PSS) are affecting a significant proportion of elderly patients[3]. Increasing evidence has suggested that PSS are associated with increased mortality and disability in stroke patients[4].
