Abstract:
There is growing evidence that antiepileptic drugs used in children that are meant to control seizures
can actually cause seizure exacerbate instead. To minimize this problem, clinicians should be familiar
with the epilepsy syndromes and the appropriate choice of antiepileptic drugs, avoid certain antiepileptic
drugs which consistently aggravate specifi c seizure types and maintain a high index of suspicion of
those at high risk as seizure exacerbation can present in diverse forms.
