Prognosis of chronic epilepsy with complex partial seizures.
Clinical features associated with a successful or unsuccessful response to high dose antiepileptic drug therapy were evaluated prospectively in 82 patients with chronic complex partial seizures. Complete seizure control was observed during high dose drug therapy in 18 patients at plasma concentrations of either 9-35 micrograms/ml phenytoin, 32 and 40 micrograms/ml phenobarbitone, 8 micrograms/m...
متن کاملTwo antiepileptic drugs for intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures.
The value of adding a second antiepileptic drug in intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures was studied in a long-term prospective trial in 30 adult patients who failed to respond to the maximum use of carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital or primidone as the first drug. Based on the individual previous history of one-drug treatment, the most promising antiepileptic drug (carbamazep...
متن کاملPrognosis of partial epilepsy.
The prognosis of partial epilepsy in childhood (excluding cases of benign partial epilepsy) was studied; the average follow up period was 7.4 years. Improvement rate of seizure status was 82.3%. We studied favourable prognostic factors and found that those most often associated with seizure improvement were familial convulsions and idiopathic forms, no generalised seizures before partial onset,...
متن کاملA pilot study on benign partial epilepsy in children with complex partial seizures
In a review of 145 children with partial onset epilepsy, the authors were able to determine a focus of children whose complex partial seizures (CPS) ran a benign course, who had no identifiable lesion on scanning and whose EEG focus was not fixed, but tended to shift. The authors suggest that a benign form of CPS in children can be recognised.
