Over 69 million people are diagnosed with traumatic brain injury annually, whereas the issue itself is associated with a number of complications, epilepsy being one of them. The risk of post-traumatic epilepsy development falls within the range of 2 % to 50 % depending on the injury location and severity. This article presents a discussion focusing on the main issues of etiopathogenesis, diagnostics specifics and treatment for post-traumatic epilepsy. The said discussion is based on an analysis of literary sources available both in Russian and in English embracing the period of 2013–2023, as well as on RSCI databases, and Pubmed.
