  • Title: [Carbamazepine in the treatment of tetanic syndrome].
    Author: Kukumberg P.
    Journal: Cesk Neurol Neurochir; 1991 Mar; 54(2):116-9. PubMed ID: 2044172.
    Abstract:
    Neurogenic tetanic syndrome (synonyms: spasmophilia, chronic, larved, latent, hyperventilation tetany) causes problems due to its high incidence and torpid course. The aetiology is obscure. Sometimes mild disorders of the Ca and Mg metabolism are found. Carbamazepine was used in 288 patients (Biston Spofa: 3 months 600 mg/day). Subjective complaints improved by 58.7%, Chvostek's phenomenon reveded (44.3%). The typical EMG finding disappeared or improved in 73.0%. The psychotropic and antidepressive action of carbamazepine played a favourable role. No serious complications of treatment were observed. Carbamazepine inhibits effectively all manifestations of enhanced excitability of the nervous system. Its indication in the treatment of neurogenic tetanic syndrome is preferential.
