dc.description.abstractAim: PSE is reported more frequently in childhood than in adults. In this study, we aimed to investigate potential risk factors for the development of post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) in children with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). Material methods: The current retrospective cohort study included the medical records of 50 pediatric participants (aged 29 days to 18 years) diagnosed with AIS at a university hospital between January 2006 and December 2023. All information of the patients who were followed for at least two years for the development of PSE after AIS was entered into the hospital database and recorded in a pre-designed questionnaire. Acute symptomatic seizures were defined as seizures occurring within 7 days after stroke. Two or more late seizures occurring after the acute period (>7 days) were classified as PSE. The incidence of PSE and potential risk factors were investigated. Results: After AIS, more than half of the patients (58 %) developed acute seizures and almost one-third (38 %) developed PSE. Risk factors associated with the development of PSE, very early seizures (within the first six hours), high stroke severity, cortical lesions, neurological deficits and low serum vitamin D levels were detected (p = 0.05, p = 0.036, p = 0.011, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Seizures within the first six hours, high stroke severity, and neurological deficits are important risk factors for the development of PSE in children. Knowing the potential risk factors of PSE may be helpful for clinicians to identify high-risk patients. It can also contribute to treatment decision-making and post-discharge follow-up planning.en_US
