ASS and epileptiform EEG abnormalities are strong predictors of post-stroke epilepsy. HS develops in a minority of patients after hemorrhagic lesions, leading to focal epilepsy. Prospective studies are required, including follow-up with EEG and if characterized by epileptiform discharges, with MRI, to determine the true frequency of HS and to better understand predictors of post-stroke epilepsy (AAS, stroke type, and HS), and their impact on stroke recovery.
