Abstract:
Diffuse glioma-related epilepsy (dGRE) frequently presents with epilepsy as the initial symptom and is closely associated with tumor progression or recurrence, imposing significant social and psychological burdens on patients. The pathogenesis of dGRE is highly complex, involving both peritumoral microenvironmental mechanisms and tumor-intrinsic factors. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive approach integrating neuroimaging, EEG, molecular biomarkers, and spatial correlation between the tumor and the epileptogenic zone. Management aims to control seizures and improve prognosis. Non-enzyme-inducing anti-seizure medications (ASMs), such as levetiracetam and lacosamide, are recommended as first-line therapy, while valproic acid serves mainly as a second-line agent. Surgical resection, particularly maximal safe and supratotal removal guided by electrophysiological monitoring, significantly improves seizure outcomes. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted agents further contribute to seizure control. The updated 2025 Chinese clinical practice guidelines incorporate recent advances in ASM use, postoperative withdrawal strategies, and multidisciplinary treatment algorithms. These updates provide an evidence-based reference for standardized diagnosis and management of dGRE.
