The authors report 31 cases of "vascular epilepsy" among 280 cerebral strokes confirmed by cranial computerized tomography. A high incidence of ischemia (28 cases : 90%) is noted. Epileptic seizures are initial (14 cases) or sequellar (17 cases) manifestations of cerebral stroke. Partial seizures are the most frequent (58%), particularly "Jacksonian" motor fits, which, when initial, often lead to status epilepticus. Frequency and bad prognosis of initial status epilepticus are pointed out.
