Abstract

The choice of antiepileptic drug is typically based on seizure type, and there is no evidence for superior effectiveness or potential deterioration of particular antiepileptic drug in specific etiologic subgroups. The aim of the study was to identify etiological factor(s) associated with increased risk of seizure aggravation with levetiracetam (LEV).
