Immediate postoperative seizures: incidence and computed tomographic findings. 1985

A Fukamachi, and H Koizumi, and H Nukui

Convulsive seizures within 48 hours after intracranial operations using a craniotomy were reviewed. Incidence was 8.9% (44 of 493 operations): 13.5% of brain tumor operations and 3.8% of aneurysmal operations. We demonstrated that preoperative seizures, sites of lesion, sub-therapeutic anticonvulsant levels, and postoperative local organic lesions were important factors causing the immediate postoperative seizures. Among them, a survey of postoperative computed tomography scans disclosed nine intracerebral hemorrhages, eight cases of cerebral edema, and four cerebral infarctions in the 44 patients; such major complications had a significant correlation with postoperative seizures (p less than 0.005).

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
