Patient's question:
Doctor, my grandfather is 70 years old. In October, he was carefully diagnosed with a brain tumor, and in November, he had surgery at the hospital. But after the brain tumor surgery, he again experienced intermittent epilepsy. What should we do? Is this a consequence of the after-effects, or what is the reason?Doctor's answer:
The reappearance of the elderly in this phenomenon should be due to postoperative sequelae. Most brain tumor patients, after surgery, may experience persistent or intermittent epilepsy due to irritation of the brain nerves. If the surgery is very successful, they can only persist in taking oral antiepileptic drugs to control it. Some patients, after persisting in taking medication and undergoing a period of rehabilitation, may gradually relieve and disappear from epilepsy.
