Abstract
- Valproic acid is a commonly prescribed medication approved for epilepsy, migraine and bipolar disorder. The common adverse effects associated with valproic acid include nausea, vomiting, tremor and weight gain. Less common but more serious adverse effects can occur. These include irreversible hepatotoxicity and pancreatitis. We report one case of pancreatitis, an uncommon disorder in children, in an 11-year-old boy treated with valproic acid for simple partial seizure.
