  • Title: [Anticonvulsants can aggravate idiopathic generalized epilepsy].
    Author: de Toffol B, Hommet C, Corcia P, Autret A.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1998 Nov; 154(11):753-6. PubMed ID: 9894288.
    Abstract:
    Antiepileptic drugs can sometimes worsen idiopathic generalized epilepsies. Relevant data are based on empirical experience of epileptologists and on few published case-reports according to the suspected drug with serious methodological limitations. Some animal models of epileptic syndromes such as genetic models of absence seizures in rat seem to be helpful for understanding the possible mechanisms underlying drug-induced syndrome aggravation. Adequate epileptic syndrome diagnosis is needed before starting antiepileptic drug.
