Serum leptin changes in epileptic patients who gain weight after therapy with valproic acid.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous malformations (CSdAVM) have a benign clinical course. Those CSdAVM that drain into cortical veins have an increased risk for neurologic complications. OBJECTIVE:To find whether a specific clinical sign predicts cortical venous drainage (CVD) in CSdAVM. METHODS:The r...
