Chronic Management of Seizures in the Syndromes of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy

Abstract: Summary:As a group, idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) have the highest rates of complete seizure control with medication. However, there are little evidence-based data to guide drug choice for treatment. Examples of IGE include absence epilepsy, generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy, and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Generalized epilepsies seem to be particularly vulnerable to seizure aggravation, and medications that are primarily effective against partial seizures are more commonly involved in seizure aggr… Show more

“…The diagnosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) can usually be made clinically, but high-quality electroencephalography is vital in some cases. This has led some authors to group AEDs into broad spectrum (effective against focal and primary generalized seizures) and narrow spectrum (effective only against focal seizures) [40,41]. However, this approach may undermine the importance of diagnostic accuracy, which is necessary for reasons other than just choice of therapy.…”

“…Die Allergierate ist niedriger als bei CBZ, allerdings besteht eine Kreuzallergie von 25%. Bei bis zu 2,7% der Patienten kommen Hyponatriämien vor, die klinisch in der Mehrzahl der Fälle nicht relevant sind; Verläufe bis hin zum Koma sind extrem selten [70,72] [23,32,52]). Frank et al [40] untersuchten in einer placebo-kontrollierten Studie die Wirksamkeit von LTG in der Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit typischen Absencen.…”
