Acetazolamide: One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p337)
Dwarfism: A genetic or pathological condition that is characterized by short stature and undersize. Abnormal skeletal growth usually results in an adult who is significantly below the average height.

| "To clarify the effect of the clinical dosage of acetazolamide on growth in children with epilepsy or febrile convulsion, the standard scores of height and weight in 17 subjects receiving acetazolamide as an adjunct to unchanged monotherapy of antiepileptic drug were compared longitudinally through four phases: before antiepileptic drug administration, with monotherapy of antiepileptic drug, with acetazolamide in addition to monotherapy, and after acetazolamide discontinuation." | 3.69 | Growth suppression in children receiving acetazolamide with antiepileptic drugs.
