Abstract:Leukemia is a common malignant hematological disease in the clinic, and it can induce seizures or epilepsy during the treatment. This article reviews the latest literature on leukemia complicated with epilepsy and finds that leukemia with seizures and epilepsy are mainly caused by reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and chemotherapy. Therefore, the promotion of leukemia treatment and active prevention of seizures are of great significance for improving the prognosis of patients.
