Abstract

Subject: EPILEPSY is one of the most important presenting symptoms of BRAIN TUMOURs. The slow-growing BRAIN TUMOURs may be treated for the idiopathic EPILEPSY for years. The relation of BRAIN TUMOURs and EPILEPSY is significant and early diagnosis of tumours presenting with SEIZURE increases the social health level In this study we evaluated the relation between type and location of BRAIN TUMOUR, age of patients and EPILEPSY.Material and Method: In this study, we reviewed prospectively the clinical findings, the imaging, and the pathological reports of 288 patients who were operated for BRAIN TUMOUR in the neurosurgical department of Ghaem hospital, Iran, between 1992-1996.Results: Among 288 patients, 65 cases (22.6%) were 20 years old or younger and 223 (77.4%) were more than 20 years old. Seventy-eight patients (27.1%) had SEIZURE. Among these 78 patients, 72 cases had supratentorial tumours and six infratentorial tumours. The SEIZURE was significantly more common in supratentorial tumour than infratentorial tumours (p=0.0000021).Supratentorial tumours had SEIZURE seven times more than infratentorial tumours (odds ratios=7.09).The tumours with more tendency of SEIZURE were Oligodendroglioma (100%), low-grade astrocytomas (44%), high-grade astrocytoma (40%), meningioma (33.8%), and glioblastome multiform (26%). SEIZURE was not seen in any suprasellar and parasellar tumours. There is significant relation between tumour pathology and SEIZURE occurrence (p=0.0000356).Conclusion: Neuroimaging should be carried out for every patient with SEIZURE, especially for patients more than 20 years old. The MRI is preferred because of the high sensitivity of MRI for BRAIN TUMOURs.
