Summary	Introduction: Seizure control of in glioma patients is essential for quality of life. The new generation anti-seizure drug (ASD) is represented by lacosamide (LCM) and levetiracetam (LEV), and is said to have few side effects of eruption. We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of rash and related factors of the ASD, evaluated the safety of patients with glioma, and conducted a comparison with the evaluation of patients with meningioma. Method: We calculated the incidence of rash in patients who underwent glioma resection at our Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 and were prescribed LEV or LCM, and compared it with the same incidence in meningioma patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for the ASD-related eruption. Result: The subjects were 353 gliomas and 125 meningiomas who received LEV or LCM.The median ages are 44 ± 14.8 and 58 ± 13.2, respectively, and the male-female ratio is 203/150 and 53/72. There was no difference in the incidence of eruptions between the two groups, LEV and LCM, and the incidence of ASD-related eruptions was 11% (39/353) for gliomas, significantly higher than 1.6% (2/125) for meningiomas (p = 0.006). The incidence of ASD-related eruptions in glioma patients was not significantly different between the LEV group (10% (21/216)) and the LCM group (13% (20/154)) (p = 0.53). In a multivariate analysis of risk factors for eruption, chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.01), history of drug allergy (p = 0.039) was significantly higher. Conclusion: The incidence of LEV and LCM eruptions in glioma patients was higher than that in meningioma patients, and it was speculated that the treatment course specificity was more important than the disease-specific factors. Patients with glioma, especially those who have undergone chemoradiotherapy or have a history of drug allergies, require careful confirmation of the eruption.
