概括
抗发作药物 (ASM) 在低度质瘤 (LGG) 患者中没有减少术后发作. 总体切除显著降低了发作的发生率,突出了切除的程度作为手术后管理的关键因素.
科学领域:
- 神经外科 神经外科
- 发病学 (Epileptology) 是一个专业的学科.
- 神经瘤学神经瘤学
背景情况:
- 发作显著影响低度质瘤 (LGG) 患者的生活质量.
- 抗发作药物 (ASM) 治疗发作,但可能引起副作用.
- 本研究使用世卫组织2021年分类来研究LGG患者的,并评估ASM对术后发作的影响.
研究的目的:
- 报告LGG患者管理方面的经验.
- 为了比较手术后的发作频率在LGG患者和没有手术前的ASMs.
- 确定影响LGG术后发作结果的因素.
主要方法:
- 从电子健康记录中追溯收集数据 (2006-2022年).
- 对206名经过257次手术的LGG患者进行分析.
- 多变量分析以确定术后无结局的预测因素.
主要成果:
- 术后发作发生在114名患者中 (45.2%在3-12个月).
- 手术前的ASM与术后发作的几率更高有关.
- 总体切除显示,与其他切除类型相比,发作发生率显著降低.
结论:
- 手术前的ASM似乎没有改善LGG患者的术后控制.
- 切除的程度是发作失败的独立预后指标.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Seizures: Classification
309
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:

Antiepileptic Drugs: Glutamate Antagonists
300
Glutamate is a fundamental neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing a vital role in neuronal communication and various cognitive processes. Glutamate stands as the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its presence is crucial for the communication between neurons, underpinning essential processes such as synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and plasticity. These functions are vital for higher-order cognitive processes, including learning and memory. The...

Antiepileptic Drugs: GABAergic Pathway Potentiators
349
γ-aminobutyric acid or GABA, plays a pivotal role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA pathway potentiators, also known as GABAergic drugs, are a class of pharmaceutical agents designed to enhance the functioning of the GABAergic system. These medications primarily treat epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.
The key GABA pathway potentiators used in epilepsy management are as follows.
