Abstract
It is widely accepted that seizures may appear following head injuries. The origin of early seizures resulting from brain injuries remains unclear. The circumstances under which epileptic attacks occur and their frequency are particularly interesting (3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16). Since the frequency of posttraumatic epilepsy is highly variable - from 4% to about 30% the question of the actual cause of the seizures has a special meaning (2, 18).
