  • Title: Efficacy of lacosamide on seizures and myoclonus in a patient with epilepsia partialis continua.
    Author: Spalletti M, Comanducci A, Vagaggini A, Bucciardini L, Grippo A, Amantini A.
    Journal: Epileptic Disord; 2013 Jun; 15(2):193-6. PubMed ID: 23761109.
    Abstract:
    A 39-year-old male with epilepsia partialis continua, refractory to first- and second-line antiepileptic drugs, is described. Lacosamide produced a progressive antiepileptic effect on Jacksonian motor seizures and subsequently on positive myoclonus, which developed into negative myoclonus before complete resolution. Our report confirms the efficacy of lacosamide on focal motor refractory status epilepticus and documents a unique effect of lacosamide on seizure semiology.
