N2  - Three hundred and seventy-two patients aged from 24-80 years were examined 10-15 years after past craniocerebral trauma. Of that number 355 subjects had concussion and 17 subjects brain contusion. Posttraumatic epilepsy was diagnosed by 8 cases (2.15%) only. It affected 4 females, aged from 40-60 years, and 3 males aged 30-48 years after the brain concussion, as well as 1 man, 30 years old, after the brain contusion. That first epileptic attack in 4 cases occurred after the lapse of 1-2 years, in 3 persons after the lapse of 6-10 months, and 1 patient having had brain contusion after 4 months. All posttraumatic patients were treated prophylactically with phenobarbital 0.1 twice a day for a period of several weeks.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
