Abstract
The objective of this review is to present a description of the current evidence for the evaluation and management of epilepsy in the population with brain tumor. Epilepsy is common in brain tumors, and between 30% and 70% of patients develop symptomatic epilepsy. This affects daily life even if the tumor is under control. There are various factors that affect the mechanism for the development of epileptogenesis. Such as type of tumor, location of the tumor, genetic peritumoral changes, surgery is one of the treatments that can contribute to reducing the symptoms of epilepsy and in turn treat the brain tumor and has shown high success rates with follow-up to long term.
