- W2556873860 abstract "Summary The repeated application of blows to the boxer's head result in chronic brain lesion known as ''punch drunkenness'', ''chronic progressive traumatic encephalopathy in boxers'', ''dementia pugilistica'' and ''psychopathic deterioration of pugilists''. Morphological findings of late traumatic damage in boxers include abnormalities (cavitation or rupture) of the septum pellucidum, focal scarring of the cerebral and cerebelar hemispheres, degeneration of the substancia nigra, of the temporal lobe and the hypothalamic structures. One of the sequalae of repeated blows to the boxers' head is the increased convulsive predisposition and the occuring of epileptic seizures. Clinical analysis of epilepsy in boxers, in whom history does not reveal any other etiological factors than chronic craniocerebral trauma, was performed. A group of 9 boxers suffering from trauma-induced epileptic seizures (ES) was examined. The age of boxers ranged from 21 years to 29 years. Neurological examination does not reveal any abnormality. Psychiatric changes include decreased memory and emotional instability. CT scan was normal in 4 patients and shows the initial cerebral atrophy in 5 patients. The interictal EEG in all patients revealed diffuse abnormality with irregular spike and wave complexes. Generalized seizures of Grand Mal type were identified in 8 boxers (88%), partial seizures with complex symptomatology of temporal lobe - in one boxer. Regarding the onset of boxing, 6 boxers (66,7%) had their first epileptic seizures within two years, two patients within 3 years and one patients develop his first ES within one year after the onset of boxing. The younger the boxer, the higher the probability of epilepsy. Most frequently generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures occurred - usually two years after the onset of boxing. The occurrence of epileptic seizures in boxers following a brain injury depends upon individual predisposition and upon the frequency and severity of repeated head trauma. The possibility of the repeated blows to the head to create potential epileptics arises many serious questions of great importance for the heath of thousands of young people." @default.
