Recent Advances in Meningioma-Associated Epilepsy Research

脑膜瘤是常见的颅内良性肿瘤，约占原发性中枢神经系统肿瘤的1/3，它们可以出现在中枢神经系统的任何硬脑膜部位。肿瘤相关性癫痫(Tumor-Related Epilepsy, TRE)即由颅内肿瘤直接或间接引起的癫痫发作一类疾病，因其发作机制不详，控制困难并且严重影响患者的生命及生活质量。本文围绕脑膜瘤相关性癫痫发病率、发病机制、影响因素以及治疗等方面进行简要综述。Meningiomas are common intracranial benign tumors, accounting for about 1/3 of primary central nervous system tumors. They can appear in any dura mater of the central nervous system. Tumor-Related Epilepsy (TRE) is a kind of disease caused directly or indirectly by intracranial tumors. Because its seizure mechanism is unknown, it is difficult to control and seriously affects patients’ lives and quality of life. This article briefly reviews the incidence, pathogenesis, influencing factors and treatment of meningioma-associated epilepsy.
