Ayr�ca postiktal ba�a�r�lar� kompleks parsiyal ve jeneralize tonik-klonik n�betlerden sonra s�k g�r�lmektedir. Biz epilepsi poliklini�ine ba�vuran hastalarda interiktal ba�a�r�s� s�kl��n� bulmay� ama�lad�k.
Y�NTEM ve GERE�LER: Bu ileriye y�nelik �al��ma, n�roloji klini�inde epilepsi tan�s� ile takip edilen 86 eri�kin hastay� kapsamaktad�r.
BULGULAR: �al��maya epilepsi tan�s� ile izlenen 54 kad�n, 32 erkek, toplam 86 hasta al�nd�. Ba�a�r�s� olan 41 (%47.6) hastan�n a�r� tipleri s�ras�yla; gerilim tipi ba�a�r�s� (GTBA) %16.3, aural� migren %13.9, auras�z migren %12.8, GTBA + stabbing 1 %1.2, k�me ba�a�r�s� %1.2, di�er primer ba�a�r�lar� %2.4 olarak saptand�.

INTRODUCTION: Epilepsy and headache are common paroxysmal neurological disorders. Headache can occasionally be the sole symptom of a seizure. In addition, postictal headaches frequently occur after complex partial and generalized tonic�clonic seizures. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of interictal headache in patients with epilepsy presenting at an outpatient epilepsy clinic.
METHODS: This prospective study included 86 adult patients who were diagnosed with epilepsy and followed up at a neurology clinic.
RESULTS: A total of 86 patients with epilepsy (54 females, 32 males) were included. The type of headache in 41 (47.6%) patients was a tension-type headache (TTH) (n=14, 16.3%), migraine with aura (n=12, 13.9%), migraine without aura (n=11, 12.8%), TTH + stabbing headache (n=1, 1.2%), cluster headache (1.2%), and other primary headaches (n=2, 2.4%).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Patients with epilepsy often have headaches, particularly a migraine headache. Headache in patients with epilepsy may be overlooked during follow-up in the outpatient clinic setting, and this can adversely affect the quality of life of these patients.

Keywords: Epilepsy, headache; migraine.
