Carbamazepine-Induced Nonepileptic Myoclonus in a Child with Autism and Epilepsy
Abstract This study deals with a child with different type of seizures several times in week and unresponsive to antiepileptic drugs. Distinguishing between epileptic seizure and motor tic in a patient diagnosed with epilepsy and autism can be challenging. In this study we presented a male child patient on carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy. In the first days of treatment seizure frequency decreased, but after CBZ treatment dosage reached 15 mg/kg/day (at the 25th day of the treatment), the patient presented to the clinic describing several episodes of myoclonus. There were no changes in electroencephalography during the myoclonus. In follow-up, myoclonus was not described after the cessation of CBZ.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
