OBJECTIVE: To determine whether nonconvulsive electrographic post-traumatic seizures result in increases in intracranial pressure and microdialysis lactate/pyruvate ratio.
DESIGN: Prospective monitoring with retrospective data analysis.
SETTING: Single center academic neurologic intensive care unit.
PATIENTS: Twenty moderate to severe traumatic brain injury patients (Glasgow Coma Score 3-13).
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Continuous electroencephalography and cerebral microdialysis were performed for 7 days after injury. Ten patients had seizures and were compared with a matched cohort of traumatic brain injury patients without seizures. The seizures were repetitive and constituted status epilepticus in seven of ten patients. Using a within-subject design, post-traumatic seizures resulted in episodic increases in intracranial pressure (22.4 +/- 7 vs. 12.8 +/- 4.3 mm Hg; p < .001) and an episodic increase in lactate/pyruvate ratio (49.4 +/- 16 vs. 23.8 +/- 7.6; p < .001) in the seizure group. Using a between-subjects comparison, the seizure group demonstrated a higher mean intracranial pressure (17.6 +/- 6.5 vs. 12.2 +/- 4.2 mm Hg; p < .001), a higher mean lactate/pyruvate ratio (38.6 +/- 18 vs. 27 +/- 9; p < .001) compared with nonseizure patients. The intracranial pressure and lactate/pyruvate ratio remained elevated beyond postinjury hour 100 in the seizure group but not the nonseizure group (p < .02).
CONCLUSION: Post-traumatic seizures result in episodic as well as long-lasting increases in intracranial pressure and microdialysis lactate/pyruvate ratio. These data suggest that post-traumatic seizures represent a therapeutic target for patients with traumatic brain injury.
