Seizure-inducing paradoxical reaction to antiepileptic drugs
2000
We report on an 18-month-old girl with a seizure frequency of five/day, receiving an antiepileptic polytherapy consisting of primidone, clonazepam and phenytoin. Following discontinuation of clonazepam and primidone, the patient has been seizure-free under monotherapy for 2 years and shows marked developmental progress. Possible mechanisms of this paradoxical effect of antiepileptic drugs and the implications for antiepileptic therapy are discussed.
