Seizure : the journal of the British Epilepsy Association

To examine the occurrence of glioma-related preoperative seizures (GPS) and post-operative seizure control (PSC) with respect to patients characteristics including five commonly tested tumor molecular markers (TMMs). ⋯ GPS and PSC may be associated with IDH1 mutation and MGMT gene promoter methylation status but not other glioma characteristics including tumor grade, location, or histopathology. Prospective studies with larger sample size are needed to clarify the exact mechanisms of GPS and PSC by the various TMMs to identify new treatment targets.
