Abstract
Seizure is a common presenting symptom for those with brain tumor due to its unique pathogenesis. Several choices of antiepileptic drug are available to use, but some patients can still go on to develop tumor-related refractory epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation is becoming a popular option for those with medical refractory epilepsy but no brain tumor due to its effectiveness. There are very few studies available that address the topic of using vagus nerve stimulation for tumor-related epilepsy. Here we discuss the evidence of using vagus nerve stimulation for refractory tumor-related epilepsy and its challenges and gaps moving forward.Entities:
