Tóm tắt

Perioperative antiepileptic drug (AED) prophylaxis for early postoperative seizures (EPSs) in patients with supratentorial meningiomas without preoperative seizures is controversial. This paper discusses the incidence, risk factors, control rate and AED withdrawal indications of EPS in patients undergoing supratentorial convexity and parasagittal/falx meningioma resection without preoperative seizures. Patients treated for a histologically confirmed supratentorial convexity and parasagittal/falx meningioma at the authors’ institution between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively examined. Clinical and imaging data were assessed. Variates were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. A PubMed review of the literature published between 2011 and 2021 was performed. In total, 517 patients met the selection criteria. EPS (within the first postoperative week) was observed in 30/517 cases (5.8%). Multivariate analysis revealed that surgical/medical complications (OR 16.33, 95% CI 7.07–37.7, P < 0.001) were the only independent predictors of EPS. The dose of valproic was increased and levetiracetam was added based on the frequency of seizures (≤ 2, > 2 times and status epilepticus). EPS control rates were 94.1% (16/17) and 92.3% (12/13), respectively. AEDs were discontinued at 2 weeks and 4–6 weeks, respectively. The authors identified 10 relevant studies in the literature. Based on their review of the literature, the incidence of EPS was 3.7% (47/1282) with AED use and 6.2% (95/1525) without AED use patients in supratentorial meningiomas without preoperative seizures. The incidence of EPS was 9.0% (19/209) in patients without AED use with convexity and parasagittal/falx meningiomas without preoperative seizures. AED prophylaxis can reduce the incidence of EPS in patients with convexity and parasagittal/falx meningiomas without preoperative seizures. Avoiding postoperative complications is an important means to prevent EPS. Combined medication has a significant effect on controlling repeated EPS. The timing of AED withdrawal was evaluated according to the clinical symptoms and imaging findings.
