Seizure outcome after resection of insular glioma: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and institutional experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Gliomas arising from the insular cortex can be epileptogenic, with a significant proportion of patients having medically refractory epilepsy. The impact of surgery on seizure control for such tumors is not well established. In this study, the authors aimed to investigate seizure outcomes after resection of insular gliomas using a meta-analysis and institutional experience.

Methods

Three databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were systematically searched for published studies of seizure outcomes after insular glioma resection from database inception to March 27, 2021. In addition, data were retrospectively collected on all adults (age > 17 years) who had undergone insular glioma resection between June 1997 and June 2015
