Abstract

Up to 88% of patients with low grade glioma (LGG) experience seizures during the course of their disease. In patients who undergo surgery for supratentorial low grade glioma (SLGG), post-operative seizures can impact their quality of life and complicate the post-operative management course. Evidence suggests that epileptic activity can be related to tumour progression. In addition to the extent of resection, recent studies have investigated the possible patient and tumour factors which can influence post-operative seizure control in patients with SLGG.
