Sex differences in seizure at presentation in glioma population

Seizures are common presenting symptoms of primary brain tumors. Mechanisms of epileptogenesis are still unknown and are believed to be multifactorial. Previous studies have indicated correlation of seizure with tumor location. Recent investigations of our group have shown image-based parameters have sex-specific implications for patient outcome. In this retrospective study, we examined the association of tumor location with the probability and risk of seizure in male and female glioma patients.
