Reported is the association of REM behavior disorder (RBD) with late-onset, sleep-related, tonic-clonic seizures in two elderly men. In each patient, RBD preceded the onset of seizures by several years. The authors hypothesize that REM sleep disruption may facilitate seizure occurrence....
doi:10.1001/archneur.59.2.195 Abstract Stroke is the most common cause of seizures in the elderly, and seizures are among the most common neurologic sequelae of stroke. About 10% of all stroke patients experience seizures, from stroke onset until several years later. This review discusses ...

Basal ganglia calcification is characterized by calcium deposits in the basal ganglia, which is seen in up to 1% of computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain.1 It is frequently encountered in elderly patients, in whom it is considered an incidental, idiopathic, and inconsequential finding.1 ...
Stroke is the leading cause of epilepsy in the elderly, ahead of degenerative diseases, tumors and head injuries. It constitutes a significant complication and a considerable comorbidity. The aim of our study was to describe the main factors implicated in the occurrence of post-stroke seizures and...
young mice16, which suggests a reduced cortical plasticity and less frequent spontaneous recovery in the elderly. Stroke facilitates the onset of epileptic seizures. Patients surviving brain ischemia often develop enhanced brain excitability and epileptic seizures2. Post-stroke seizures are treated ...
