Résumé
Objective To study the value and effectiveness of surgical management and mapping in supratentorial tumoral complicated with epilepsy and to study the correlations between tumor and the epileptogenic focus.Methods The clinical data of 121 patients with supratentorial cerebral tumor but epilepsy as initial symptom were retrospectively analyzed for the incidence of pre-and postoperative epileptic seizures,including grade Ⅰ glioma in 1 5 cases and grade Ⅱ glioma in 35 cases,grade Ⅲ-Ⅳglioma in 12 cases,menigoma in 32 cases,metastases in 10 cases,cavernous angiomas in 15 cases,and ependymomas in 2 cases.Results Surgery based on CT/MRI,seizure type and EEG changes was conducted.There was no death in operation.The highest incidence was in frontal lobe and the lowest in occipital lobe.Correlations between localization of tumor and the epileptogenic focus:there were 50 cases in the same location,near or beside tumors in 28 cases,far separate apart(＞2 cm)from tumors in 25 cases,no relationship was found in 18 cases.103 patients were followed up for one to nine years.31 patients had a few seizures in the early postoperative period.Epileptic seizures were cured without anti-epilepsy drugs in 83 cases.Conclusion There are some differences between tumors'location and epileptogenic focus in supratentorial tumoral epilepsy.The location and size of epileptogenic zone should be detected before and during operation.The resection of the tumor combined with the resection of the epileptogenic zone"epilepsy surgery"can provide good results.
