Key Points

This study aims to assess how quickly post-traumatic epilepsy develops and how patients respond to treatments after abusive head trauma.
Evaluated patients with a history of abusive head trauma for post-traumatic epilepsy.
Assessed timing of epilepsy onset within three years after injury.
Measured treatment response during follow-up assessments.
Defined treatment response rates for various interventions over the follow-up period.
Reported the average time to onset of post-traumatic epilepsy after abusive head trauma.

Implication

Evaluates treatment response timing of post-traumatic epilepsy in young patients with abusive head trauma, suggesting important implications for care.

Abstract

To evaluate the timing and treatment-response of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) within 3 years after abusive head trauma (AHT).
