Clinical relevance

Epileptic seizures are the result of synchronous discharges of neuron groups in the brain that can lead to sudden and involuntary stereotypical behavioural or sensory disorders. Numerous types of seizures have been described, each of which requires specialised therapy. The probability of them occurring depends on a number of factors. In addition to genetic predisposition, it is primarily exogenous factors that are relevant, such as accident, thrombosis, tumours or meningitis. Therapy with anticonvulsive medication (antiepileptics) leads to a reduction in seizures and sometimes even a complete elimination of seizures in most treated patients. The precondition for the antiepileptics to have a therapeutic effect is usually patient compliance, which means regular use of the medication. Thus, monitoring of the blood levels is essential, especially during initial dose setting.
