Epilepsy is one of
the most common diseases worldwide and in our country. Data on the relationship
between inflammatory mediators and the production of immune cells and the
recurrence of epileptic seizures are becoming more evident in the light of
experimental and clinical studies. Therefore, the relationship between epilepsy
and inflammation is of interest.  In this
review, the relationship between epilepsy and inflammation is investigated.

Epilepsi, dünya çapında ve ülkemizde oldukça
yaygın görülen hastalıklardan biridir. İnflamatuvar mediatörler ve immün
hücrelerin üretilmesi ile epileptik nöbetlerin tekrarı arasındaki ilişki
hakkında gün geçtikçe deneysel ve klinik çalışmaların ışığında birbirini
destekleyen veriler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bundan dolayı epilepsi ve inflamasyon
ilişkisi ilgi çekmektedir. Bu derlemede epilepsi ile inflamasyon ilişkisi
incelenmiştir.
