Brain 17 Vienna

Conclusions: brain tumors and epilepsy

 Hardly any data from randomized trials

 Levetiracetam : may be overall well tolerated and have good activity against seizures in brain tumor patients

 Lamotrigine : no comprehensive testing in brain tumor patients; overall good antiepileptic activity, well tolerated

 Pregabalin : may be considered as an alternative drug, probably not approved as monotherapy in most countries

 Valproic acid : (very) active, moderate tolerability, teratogenicity!
