Review Meta AnalysisIntracranial meningiomas and seizures: a review of the literature.
Seizures are a common manifestation of brain tumors, but literature on the incidence of seizures before and after surgery for meningiomas is limited, and principles for use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are controversial. ⋯ Seizures are a common manifestation of meningiomas, but about 80 % patients with preoperative seizures can be seizure free after tumor removal. Prospective controlled AED trials specifically on meningioma patients are much needed.
