Article Synopsis
- Chronic subdural hemorrhage (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition, and this systematic review aimed to identify risk factors for seizures following its treatment.* -
- The review analyzed 18 studies with nearly 5000 patients, finding a 10% overall seizure incidence after treatment, with lower risks associated with burr hole surgery compared to craniotomy.* -
- The findings suggest a need for standardized reporting and more comparative research to better understand seizure risks post-cSDH treatment, particularly regarding the effectiveness of prophylactic antiepileptic medications.*
Background And Objectives: Postoperative seizures are a common complication after surgical drainage of nonacute chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs). The literature increasingly supports the use of prophylactic antiepileptic drugs for craniotomy, a procedure that is often associated with larger collections and worse clinical status at admission. This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative seizures in patients treated with burr-hole drainage and those treated with craniotomy through propensity score matching (PSM).

Purpose: To introduce a temporal-regional graph convolutional network (TRGCN) on MR images to study the association between knee OA progression status and network outcome.
Study Type: Retrospective.
