Study demonstrates valproic acid effectively manages pediatric epilepsy types, suggesting minimal side effects.
Summary We studied 85 pediatric patients with different types of epilepsy treated with valproic acid. The clinical and EEG follow-up were performed up to 10 months. Our EEG-clinical observations in this study show that this group of epilepsies during the pediatric age are extremely sensitive to valproic acid with minimal and tolerable side effects. Within a brief period of time an effective response was obtained in the case of epilepsy with myoclonic-astatic seizures juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (impulsive petit mal), classical absence and photosensitive epilepsy.
