Withdrawal of valproic acid treatment during pregnancy and seizure outcome: Observations from EURAP.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The incidence of status epilepticus (SE) in Asian children, including Japanese, has not been reported. METHODS:In 2003, we performed an epidemiological study of SE on Japanese children (31 days or older to <15 years of age) in Okayama City by ascertaining all lifetime first episodes of SE. RESULTS:Thirty-s...
