Clinical characteristics and associated factors of posttraumatic epilepsy after traumatic brain injury in children: a retrospective case-control study

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern, impacting approximately 69 million individuals annually1 and is associated with several physical and cognitive complications, including seizure and epilepsy.2,3 These seizures, referred to as posttraumatic seizures (PTS), can manifest at different time intervals following the injury. PTS classification depends upon the time of seizure onset relative to the injury, comprising immediate PTS (<24 hours), early PTS (occurring between 24 hours and 7 days), and late PTS (>7 days post-injury).
