Phenytoin toxicity: A cause of reversible monoplegia

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1987
Phenytoin sodium (Dilantin), a frequently used anticonvulsant, has many well-recognized side effects. Of these, neurological ones are prominent and, when present, usually consist of ataxia, nystagmus, or dysarthria. Phenytoin toxicity in patients with previous strokes may present as a “re-stroke” syndrome.

Maternal and umbilical cord plasma concentrations of antiseizure medications: Results from the observational MONEAD study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Unanticipated changes in antiseizure medication (ASM) exposure can lead to subtherapeutic or toxic medication concentrations in the mother and unnecessary drug exposure for the fetus. The objectives of this study were to characterize ASM concentrations in mother's and cord blood at delivery in women with epilepsy (PWWE).

Ranking of antiseizure medications in a panel of focal seizure models predicts their comparative efficacy in clinical add‐on trials in drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...

Lipid‐based Nano‐delivery systems as a promising strategy for the treatment of epilepsy: Current status and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a prevalent chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal neuronal electrical activity. The primary treatment modality for individuals with epilepsy (PWE) is antiseizure medication (ASM). The multiple potential factors contributing to treatment resistance in epilepsy may be attributed to the inability of ASMs to
