Description
Omar Rafi and co-authors study seizure risk in patients with brain tumors in work from 2025. Seizures before surgery are common in this group, and risk may depend on traits of the tumor and traits of the patient.
The team followed 373 patients with confirmed brain tumors over one year. About thirty percent had seizures before surgery. Tumors in the cortex, above all in the central lobe, carried by far the highest risk. Male sex, low body mass, and smoking also linked to seizures on their own. The authors urge risk checks that weigh both tumor and patient factors.
