Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug widely used to treat various seizures, mood disorders and migraine based on its various pharmacological mechanisms. Even though nephrolithiasis is listed as one of its side effects, there have been no cases reporting nephrolithiasis caused by use of topiramate on Korean pediatric patients. Since the use of topiramate is increasing in many patients, the possibility of nephrolithiasis after the treatment needs to be considered. Here, we report our experience in correcting neprholithiasis by simply discontinuing topiramate without administering any additional treatments.
