| Popis: | UMMARY 175 Epileptics were treated with Zarontin during a period from 6 months to 3 years. Zarontin is a powerful agent in the treatment of minor attacks, especially petit mal in childhood, but even myoclonic seizures and uncharacteristic small fits in adulthood may respond well to Zarontin. Zarontin is usually tolerated well, but serious blood damage may appear and the possibility must always be kept in mind. In our series one patient during treatment developed a serious pancytopenia. The principles of treating with anti-epileptic drugs are discussed, and the importance of regular clinical control is emphasized. RESUME 175 Epileptiques ont ete traites par le Zarontin durant une periode de 6 mois a 3 ans. Le Zarontin est un puissant medicament dans le traitement des attaques mineures, particulierement le petit mal des enfants, mais les crises myocloniques et des petites crises non caracterisees des adultes peuvent elles-aussi fort bien reagir. Le medicament est generalement bien tolere, mais il peut survenir de graves endommagements du sang; cette possibilite ne doit jamais etre oubliee. Il y a eu dans notre serie un malade atteint durant le traitement d'une serieuse pancytopenie. Discussion des principes d'un traitement par les medicaments anti-epileptiques, et l'importance d'un controle clinique regulier est tout particulierement relevee. |
