Abstract

Objective: To investigate some related factors in patients with complex partial seizures. Subjects and Methods: 34 patients with complex partial seizures treated at the Department of  Psychiatry, Military Hospital 103, were included in the study. The patients were examined by two independent psychiatrists. Results: 32.35% of patients had a history of illness during the mother's pregnancy, with 54.55% of mothers experiencing flu. 35.29% of patients had perinatal complications, and preterm birth accounted for the highest percentage (66.67%). Additionally, patients with a history of neurological disorders had a higher prevalence (55.88%). Electroencephalography showed changes in alpha, theta, and delta waves in terms of frequency, amplitude, and wave energy. Particularly, our study found clear variations in theta and delta wave energy, measuring 72.56 ± 31.48 µV2/Hz and 61.25 ± 24.19 µV2/Hz, respectively. Conclusion: Pregnancy history, perinatal complications, brain damage, and electroencephalographic changes are significantly associated with clinical symptoms in patients with complex partial seizures.
