Prognosis of epilepsy withdrawn from antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract:

:Antiepileptic drugs (AED) were discontinued in 55 epileptics who had been free from seizures treated with AED, in accordance with the following criteria and procedures. (i) A reduction in AED commences when patients have been free from seizures for at least 2 years and epileptic discharges have also disappeared in repeated electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings during that period. (ii) AED are gradually reduced if no relapse is seen in clinical seizures and epileptic discharges in EEG. (iii) As a rule at least 2 years are required as the interval from the onset of a reduction to the withdrawal of AED. Forty-three patients were followed up by a questionnaire and/or by telephone and the follow-up period from the withdrawal of AED to the survey ranged from 0.9 to 8.8 years; in 38 patients (88.4%) the period was longer than 2 years. No relapse of seizures was found in any of the 43 patients. The severity of epilepsy judged by the total number of frequency of seizures, the presence of neuropsychiatric complications, the combination of different types of seizures, and the duration of epilepsy from the seizure onset to the last seizure appeared not to be risk factors for the recurrence of seizure. Normal EEG was, however, considered to be an important prerequisite for a good prognosis.
