Abstract
Few data exist on the management of seizures in brain tumor patients near the end of life. This article provides information on the epidemiology and phenomenology of seizures, as well as on differential diagnostic considerations. Based largely on empirical data from the pediatric epilepsy literature, guidelines for management of seizures near the end of life are given, with emphasis on the use of rectal antiepileptic drugs.
