Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug that was shown to be effective in various seizure types. Experience with this agent for treating status epilepticus is just emerging. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the literature regarding its use in children with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. We here report a liver-transplanted child with nonconvulsive status epilepticus who responded well to oral levetiracetam treatment.
左乙拉西坦是一种抗癫痫药物,已被证明对多种癫痫发作类型有效。关于这种药物治疗癫痫持续状态的经验刚刚开始出现。据我们所知,文献中尚无关于其用于治疗儿童非惊厥性癫痫持续状态的报道。我们在此报告一例肝移植儿童非惊厥性癫痫持续状态患者,口服左乙拉西坦治疗效果良好。
