摘要
目的:本研究旨在了解癌症患者不同癫痫病因的分布、最常见的脑转移原发肿瘤、最常见的致痫原发肿瘤及治疗方式。方法:回顾性研究在Hotel-Dieu de France医院对2005 - 2016年在血液肿瘤科就诊的癫痫患者进行研究。结果:153例患者的平均年龄为57岁(标准差为16岁),男性占多数(66%)。大多数癫痫发作是由于原发肿瘤(49%)或脑转移(32%)。其他可逆(代谢和药物)或不可逆转的原因(癌性脑膜炎、辐射和心血管并发症)构成了剩余的原因。抗癫痫药物以丙戊酸钠为主,左乙拉西坦次之,苯妥英次之。结论:许多可逆的原因参与癫痫发作,包括代谢紊乱,抗生素和化疗。
Seizures in cancer patients: a vast spectrum of etiologies
Aim: This study aims to recognize the distribution of different seizures etiologies in cancer patients, the most common primary tumors responsible for brain metastases, the most epileptogenic primary tumors and the therapeutic modalities. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Hotel-Dieu de France Hospital targeting patients admitted to hematology–oncology department between 2005 and 2016 who presented a seizure. Results: Of the 153 included patients, mean age was 57 years (standard deviation = 16 years) and a male predominance (66%). The majority of seizures were due to a primary tumor (49%) or brain metastases (32%). Other reversible (metabolic and drug) or nonreversible causes (carcinomatous meningitis, radiation and cardiovascular complications) formed the remaining causes. Regarding antiepileptic treatments, sodium valproate was mostly used, followed by levetiracetam and phenytoin. Conclusion: Numerous reversible causes are involved in the onset of epileptic seizures, including metabolic disorders, antibiotics and chemotherapies.
期刊介绍:
The neurological landscape is changing rapidly. From the technological perspective, advanced molecular approaches and imaging modalities have greatly increased our understanding of neurological disease, with enhanced prospects for effective treatments in common but very serious disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Nevertheless, at the same time, the healthcare community is increasingly challenged by the rise in neurodegenerative diseases consequent upon demographic changes in developed countries.
