Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in the world. The prevalence of post-stroke epilepsy increases with the increase in the number of stroke cases. Epilepsy may develop in 10% of post-stroke cases and first-diagnosed seizures may develop in 55%. Most often they occur in people who have had intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage. A huge number of factors influence the development of post-stroke seizures and epilepsy. The role of some of them is not in doubt. However, in most cases, the influence of a factor remains controversial and participation in the development of post-stroke epilepsy is not fully proven. The management of post-stroke epilepsy is of great clinical importance, since patients with seizures after a stroke have a higher mortality and disability than those without seizures. Attacks worsen the quality of life of patients, can slow the recovery of functions damaged as a result of a stroke, and aggravate cognitive impairment. Social consequences of post-stroke epilepsy play an important role as well.
