Clinical Experience with Felbamate in Patients with Medically Intractable Epilepsy
RATIONALE: Felbamate (FBM) use has declined since 1994 following reports of FBM induced aplastic anemia and liver failure. Limited published data is available on the clinical experience of FBM use since 1994. We previously presented a preliminary report on a limited sample of adult patients treated at Minnesota Epilepsy Group. The current study significantly expands our observations on Felbamat...
متن کاملAn algorithmic approach to medically intractable epilepsy
Article abstract—Nonpharmacologic options for the treatment of epilepsy include epilepsy surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, and the ketogenic diet. The advantages and limitations of these treatment modalities have been extensively reviewed, but there is no general consensus on when each option should be considered. The authors propose an algorithm based on the type of epilepsy. Generally, nonpha...
متن کاملP-glycoprotein alters blood–brain barrier penetration of antiepileptic drugs in rats with medically intractable epilepsy
P-glycoprotein is one of the earliest known multidrug transporters and plays an important role in resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. In this study, we detected levels of P-glycoprotein and its mRNA expression in a rat brain model of medically intractable epilepsy established by amygdala kindling and drug selection. We investigated whether inhibition of P-glycoprotein affects the concentratio...
متن کاملMultimodal imaging in nonlesional medically intractable focal epilepsy.
Identification and localization of epileptogenic zone (EZ) is vital in patients with medically-intractable focal epilepsy, who may be candidates for potentially curative resective epilepsy surgery. Presence of a lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) influences both diagnostic classification and selection for surgery. However, the implications for MRI-negative cases are not well-defined for...
متن کاملPredicting outcome following reoperation for medically intractable epilepsy
The purpose of this study was to determine predictors of probable outcome following reoperation for medically intractable partial epilepsy. We reviewed outcome at least 1 year after reoperation in 21 patients with intractable seizures, for whom an earlier operation had failed. We examined age of onset of epilepsy, duration of seizures, gender, details of the history and clinical examination, pr...
