Epilepsy is commonly associated with many neurodegenerative disorders – which are characterized by motor neuron loss. While stroke is not considered a neurodegenerative disorder, it is commonly associated with many of these disorders (dementia, Parkinson’s, etc.) that primarily occur in older adults. There has been a great deal of focus among the research community on the relationship between stroke and seizures. A 2013 study found that 7% of patients who suffered a stroke went on to develop epilepsy. Post-stroke seizures are often associated with significantly increased mortality and severe disability in patients with a history of stroke. Unraveling these associations is a high clinical and research priority. Trials of interventions to prevent seizures may be warranted.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:
* the epidemiology of post-stroke epilepsy
* the complications of post-stroke epilepsy
* the international efforts to promote research on this topic, as well as the challenges associated with them

This will be the first in a series of CURE Epilepsy webinars that will discuss the relationship between epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders, released intermittently over the next year.
