摘要
There have been several recent reports of non-convulsive status epilepticus during tiagabine therapy in patients with partial epilepsy. We report three cases where elevation of tiagabine dosage was followed by electroclinical features, or electroencephalographic features without clinical signs, of non-convulsive status epilepticus. Administration of clonazepant and/or discontinuation to tiagabine lead to complete remission. In one case after re-exhibition of tiagabine the EEG again showed rhythmic delta waves. We review the other cases reported so far and discuss the different pathophysiological hypotheses about the association in the light of new experimental data. (C) 2002 BEA Trading Ltd.
