Seizures after posterior fossa surgery: Exploring the unknown: A systematic review

Background: Seizures due to posterior fossa lesions is an uncommon phenomenon. In this study, a systemic literature review was done (i) study the incidence of seizures in lesions, (ii) determine factors associated with high risk for seizures, and (iii) ascertain role prophylactic antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) such cases. Methods: Systemic done, MeSH terms “posterior cranial fossa” AND “seizures” “anticonvulsants.” All original research articles, case reports, systematic reviews pertaining or use anticonvulsants were considered inclusion. Results: A total 79 cases identified from 8 studies, included analysis. The ranged 1.8% 5% various studies. highest reported medulloblastoma, cerebellar hemorrhage, during microvascular decompression neurovascular conflict. most significant factor postoperative period ventricular shunt ventriculostomy. AEDs administered symptomatically after occurrence 78 except single lipoma. Conclusion: association are rare poor prognosis. Clinical detection can often be difficult electroencephalogram helps early diagnosis treatment. Further studies needed confirm high-risk
