Symptoms of post-glioma surgery seizures are post-surgical epilepsy, which manifests itself as sudden impaired consciousness, with eyes staring to one side, and is accompanied by increased muscle tone in the limbs, corns, and urinary and fecal incontinence. There are various reasons for its occurrence, which can be treated and prevented clinically.
1. Causes of occurrence: Currently, many studies have found that epilepsy is related to elevated permeability of the blood-brain barrier. When the blood-brain barrier is damaged, astrocytes function abnormally, leading to abnormal brain function and epilepsy. In addition, plasma can enter the tissue gap through the damaged blood-brain barrier, causing over-perfusion, leading to abnormal brain discharges and epilepsy.
2. Treatment: Commonly used antiepileptic drugs include phenytoin sodium, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, etc. Different drugs can be used to target different seizure forms of epilepsy. The principle of epilepsy treatment is to use appropriate antiepileptic drugs first, and combine them if necessary.
3. Prevention: For early postoperative epilepsy, short-term perioperative medication can be used to prevent it, which is as follows: for patients with preoperative epileptic seizures, general prophylactic antiepileptic drugs should be used for 3 months after surgery, and if there is no epileptic seizure and the EEG review is negative, the medication should be gradually reduced to discontinuation; for patients with epileptic tumors on the curtain who do not have epilepsy preoperatively, the general antiepileptic drug treatment should be used for 2 weeks, and the medication should be reduced to discontinuation without epileptic seizures. .
For patients with epileptic seizures after cranial surgery, they should promptly go to the relevant departments of regular hospitals and be treated under the guidance of specialized physicians.
