摘要
In cases of refractory status epilepticus (RSE) unresponsive to sequential trials of multiple agents, a suspension of topiramate administered via nasogastric tube was effective in aborting RSE, including one patient in a prolonged pentobarbital coma. Effective dosages ranged from 300 to 1,600 mg/d. Except for lethargy, no adverse events were reported.
