I found this comment left by Colin at WT:MED at 19:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)helpful, so I'm pasting it here:Reply

The ILAE have a task force that works to classify and define the terms for epilepsy. Their web site may contain some useful info. Another useful resources is their journal, Epilepsia, of which a chunk of their archive is free. The ILAE's ~~list of epilepsy syndromes~~ [done] explicitly excludes "immediate and early post traumatic seizures". PTS and PTE are not the same thing: one is a clinical event that may be a one-off, and the other is a diagnosis and is by definition a chronic condition. I recommend you keep them separate. ...

I think the links will be useful. delldot on a public computer talk 06:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
