Antiepileptic Drug Withdrawal in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Undergoing Presurgical Video‐EEG Monitoring

Abstract

Acute AED withdrawal effectively provoked seizures in TLE patients undergoing presurgical video-EEG monitoring. However, nearly 50% of patients had seizure clusters or secondarily generalized seizures. Serum AED levels were mostly subtherapeutic when the first CPS occurred.
