Is it possible to develop epilepsy after you've had a brain tumor? |
Like if your having seizures because of your brain tumor and then you have surgery to remove it but you develop epilepsy? Occasionally brain tumours do trigger epileptic seizures. Brian Chappell (British Epilepsy Association) , Professor Pamela Crawford (Leeds Metropolitan University England) and Emeritus Professor Mervyn Eadie (University of Queensland Australia) have this to say about brain tumours and epilepsy in their book "Epilepsy at your fingers, all your questions answered about living with epilepsy" McGraw Hill Companies 2nd Edition 2002 ISBN 0074710710 p 52 Epilepsy is caused by an interruption in the electrical current in the brain. Anything can trigger it. Yes, you can have epilepsy (or also called a seizure disorder) as a result of a brain injury, tumors, and brain surgery. It is possible that the epilepsy was actually always there, that it went unnoticed until the brain surgery was preformed. But yes, if there was a tumor growing and then removed in an area that would cause seziures, epilepsy would in fact be a result. |
