    Endovascular aneurysm exclusion has reduced morbidity but postoperative seizures remain a significant concern.

  • 2

    Hydrocephalus and severe blood distribution are strongly associated with increased seizure risk post-procedure.

  • 3

    Clinical grading scales like Hunt-Hess and WFNS indicate significant associations with postoperative seizures.

  • 4

    Demographic factors such as age and sex, as well as anatomical site, do not significantly predict seizure occurrence.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for standardized definitions and continuous monitoring in future research on postoperative seizures.
