Lekoubou et al. examined the association between poststroke seizure (PSS) and dementia in a population-based sample of nearly 24,000 young stroke survivors, ages 18–60 years.1 They demonstrated that PSS, a surrogate for stroke-related epilepsy,2 is associated with 2.5 times higher risk of dementia at 5-year follow-up. Patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes had a similar risk. Their findings highlight the impact of PSS on long-term cognition.
