Treatment of attention deficit in a patient with intractable daily seizures: a case report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mechanisms responsible for the attention impairment in epileptics may be different from those involved in isolated AttentionDeficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [1]. Often a combination of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) used in combinations are required for intractable epilepsy, but this can also exacerbate drug-induced side effects such as slowed cognition and sedation [2]. Symptoms of inattention may improve in an individual with epilepsy through better seizure control, decreasing AED polytherapy or changing to AEDs with fewer behavioral or cognitive side effects [1]. Another treatment approach is the use of stimulants.
