Abstract
Elevated cell counts are infrequently observed in patients with epileptic seizures and should therefore not uncritically be interpreted as a postictal phenomenon. However, blood-CSF barrier disruption, increased glucose metabolism and elevation of neuronal damage markers are observed in considerable percentages of patients and depend on many factors such as etiology, seizure type and duration.
