Abstract

Seizures are a common and challenging symptom in brain tumors, affecting approximately 60% of patients. Tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) in glioma patients requires personalized and dynamic management in a multidisciplinary environment, especially for its intricate pathophysiology and unpredictable disease evolution. This investigation provides an updated overview about the pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment options of TRE associated with gliomas, based on expert contributions belonging to different areas. By combining the most recent discoveries and expert opinions, this study seeks to provide useful advice for TRE management in glioma patients. To improve patient outcomes and quality of life, prospective, standardized, multicentric studies should be promoted to optimize TRE patient care and refine therapeutic approaches.
