Clinical, neuroimaging and eeg correlations in epileptic syndrome in patients with a brain tumor

Abstract

The results of the survey of 193 neuro-oncological patients with epileptic seizures are showed. The control group consisted of 97 patients with brain tumors without the development of epileptic seizures. It is found that in patients with the development of epileptic seizures as a first symptom of cerebral tumors predominated simple partial seizures. Early seizures occurred more frequently in lesions of the left hemisphere of the brain with the formation of focal abnormal EEG activity in the same hemisphere of the brain. Convulsive disorder prevailed in the localization of intracerebral tumors with caudal direction of its growth.
