Core Tip	Post-stroke seizures require pathways that combine risk stratification, timely therapy, and neuropsychiatric care. We synthesize consistent predictors and translate them into a five-step framework usable in the emergency department, stroke unit, and early follow-up. The approach endorses the use of validated tools, targeted early electroencephalography, correction of precipitants, individualized non-enzyme-inducing antiseizure therapy when indicated, and brief screening for mood and cognition with structured referral. Standardized discharge bundles and pragmatic follow-up are emphasized. Routine primary prophylaxis is discouraged.
