ABSTRACTPatients with traumatic head injury and those who have undergone neurosurgery are considered at greater risk for seizures and are routinely given phenytoin for prophylaxis. The author conducted a literature review on the topic of seizure prophylaxis with phenytoin in posttraumatic and postcraniotomy patients. For posttraumatic seizures, phenytoin appears beneficial in preventing only early seizures (defined as occurring up to 1 week after injury). Phenytoin prophylaxis showed a beneficial effect after craniotomy in only one trial. On the basis of the literature review, prescribing guidelines were developed at the author’s institution. Patients with traumatic head injuries and those who have undergone craniotomy receive phenytoin pro...
