Article Synopsis
- Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that faces significant stigma, particularly in low-income countries like Morocco, where public understanding is limited.
- This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and traditional practices among relatives of people with epilepsy to identify their educational needs.
- Results showed that many participants were unaware of basic facts about epilepsy, with cultural beliefs affecting perceptions; for example, a significant percentage associated epilepsy with witchcraft or sought help from traditional healers rather than medical professionals.
Background: In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), abnormalities in glucose and lactate metabolism have been described using cerebral microdialysis.

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship of CSF glucose and lactate with blood concentrations and with unfavorable neurological outcome after SAH.
