Alcohol Consumption and Withdrawal in New-Onset Seizures
New England Journal of Medicine, 1988We studied alcohol use before the onset of a first seizure in 308 patients with seizures and 294 controls. The risk of seizures increased with increasing current alcohol use. For unprovoked seizures (i.e., seizures occurring without an antecedent event, such as a recent stroke), the adjusted odds ratios rose from 3-fold at intakes of 51 to 100 g of ...

Alcohol withdrawal seizures: Implications of kindling
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1980The periodic administration of convulsive agents, even at doses or intensities that initially have no convulsive effect, can lead to a progressive and enduring increase in the susceptibility to subsequent convulsive stimulation. This kindling effect has contributed to the understanding of the convulsive effects of alcohol withdrawal in three ways ...

Prevention of Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures with Phenytoin in Rats
Epilepsia, 1981Summary: The efficacy of phenytoin in the prevention of alcohol withdrawal seizures was studied in rats. Phenytoin was administered together with and again 12 hr after the last dose of chronic alcohol feeding. Protection against alcohol withdrawal seizures was not observed when phenytoin serum levels were below 8 μg/ml.

Enhancement of Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures with 6‐Hydroxy dopamine
Epilepsia, 1978SUMMARYThe relationship between central catecholamine neurons and alcohol withdrawal seizures was studied in rats pre‐treated with 6‐hydroxydopamine to selectively destroy the central catecholamine nerve terminals. The alteration of alcohol withdrawal seizures was manifested by (1) a higher percentage of the rats developing the seizures, (2) an earlier

MK-801 potently inhibits alcohol withdrawal seizures in rats
European Journal of Pharmacology, 1990The ability of MK-801, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-channel antagonist, to suppress alcohol withdrawal seizures generated audio-genically was studied in adult male rats using a cross-over experimental design. MK-801 treatment reduced overall seizure score and proportion of rats seizing.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1987
Seizures that occur in relation to alcohol withdrawal, following a period of prolonged intoxication in serious alcoholics, constitute a special syndrome with important prognostic and therapeutic implications. Inpatient management is desirable to eliminate other causes of seizures that occur for the first time in adult life and because such patients are
