Anticonvulsant Prophylaxis and Timing of Seizures After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Neurol 55:258-265, Rhoney,D.H. et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this SAH population, the majority of seizures happened before medical presentation. In-hospital seizures were rare and occurred more than 7 days postictus for patients receiving AED prophylaxis. The vast majority of putative clinical predictors did not help predict the occurrence of seizures; only the thickness of the cisternal clot was of value in predicting seizures. Patients selection for and the efficacy and timing of AED prophylaxis after SAH deserve prospective evaluation.
