Predictors of Postoperative Epilepsy/Seizures in Patients Readmitted After Meningioma Resection.

ABSTRACT: Background: Epilepsy/seizures in meningioma patients may occur pre- or postoperatively, causing significant morbidity and impaired quality of life. Surgical excision is considered a standard management with variable rates of epilepsy/seizure resolution reported after surgery. Employing a national database, we examined the pre- and postoperative incidences of epilepsy/seizures and risk factors associated with postoperative epilepsy/seizures in patients readmitted within 30 days and/or 90 days following meningioma resection.
