Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Possible Role in Posttraumatic Epilepsy Table 1 Patient characteristics. Thirty-seven patients with TBI were enrolled in this study. Eighteen patients presented at our outpatient clinic with general complaints such as headaches and were included in the non-epileptic group. Nineteen patients presented with seizures and were included in the PTE patient group. sLORETA localization to Brodmann areas of abnormal EEG activity and enhancement is presented in parentheses.
