Abstract
- We experienced 2-cases of epileptic seizures aggravated by CBZ, of one which was 15-year old frontal lobe epileptic and the other was 8-year old occipital lobe epileptic. Their seizures were disappeared by withdrawal of CBZ. In conclusion, if a child or adult is noted to have more seizures or to have a new type of seizure when CBZ is added. One should consider the possibility that the seizures are drug-induced rather than part of the natural course of a progressive epilepsy and promptly withdraw CBZ.
