Project description

In this research project, the prevalence of subclinical epileptic discharges in the acute phase after stroke will be determined. These discharges will also be correlated with neuroinflammatory markers, radiological parameters and patient outcome. Finally, associated factors will be identified to define a subpopulation at risk for subclinical epileptic discharges.
