Postictal Syndrome Associated with Epileptic Seizure

Abstract

Postictal syndrome (PIS) includes clinical, biological, electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging findings following the termination of a seizure. All these findings begin immediately after the end of the epileptic seizure and persist for a long time, which allows clinicians to observe this condition. PIS helps clinicians differentiate between epileptic and nonepileptic seizures and determine the type of epileptic seizure.
