Epilepsy associated with brain meningiomas

This article is devoted to the main issues related to the development of epileptic seizures in patients with meningiomas of the brain. The genetic aspects associated with the formation of meningioma in patients and the features of the localization and degree of malignancy of the tumor in each individual genomic subgroup are disclosed. The factors that play a major role in the occurrence of pre- and postoperative epileptic seizures are also named. Surgical resection of meningiomas remains a crucial factor in the treatment of patients with disabling symptoms at the moment. But also, an important topic touched upon in this article is the need for further research into the specifics of prescribing antiepileptic therapy to patients in the pre- and postoperative period, which mainly consist in correctly setting the dosage and timing of taking drugs, which may change the perception of the effectiveness of relieving epileptic seizures.
