Seizures are common in patients with brain tumours, even though prophylactic anti-seizure treatment for all patients with brain tumours is not recommended. Newer anti-epileptic drugs have shown benefits that outweigh the side effects of treatment and can also be given in combination with traditional anti-epileptic drugs. The authors have reviewed the literature on the various combinations of anti-epileptics in patients with seizures and brain tumours.
癫痫发作在脑肿瘤患者中很常见，尽管不建议对所有脑肿瘤患者进行预防性抗癫痫治疗。新型抗癫痫药物已显示出其益处大于治疗副作用，并且也可与传统抗癫痫药物联合使用。作者回顾了关于癫痫发作合并脑肿瘤患者使用各种抗癫痫药物组合的文献。
