Carbamazepine treatment of generalized tonic–clonic seizures in idiopathic generalized epilepsy
PURPOSE Evaluate the efficacy of carbamazepine in the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). METHOD The response of five patients with IGE, who experienced primarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures which were refractory to multiple antiepileptic drugs, is reported. RESULTS Carbamazepine controlled multiple seizure types and did not induce or increase the frequency of myocloni...
متن کاملAutomatisms in absence seizures in children with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.

There has been considerable debate regarding the nature, triggers, and timing of automatisms in absence seizures. OBJECTIVES To examine the frequency and nature of automatisms in new-onset absence seizures and assess the influence of t...

In this work, we ...
