Abstract

The value of prophylactic anti-epileptic treatment in surgery of osteomeningeal breaches has been studied. This surgery exposes to a high risk of seizures, 20 to 25 of our cases after conventional surgery. 74 operated cases of osteomeningeal breaches, among then 38 under preventive anti-epileptic therapy are reviewed. The pre and postoperative epileptic fits up to 24 hours after the operation were taken in consideration.
