carbamazepine and Rett Syndrome

carbamazepine has been researched along with Rett Syndrome in 3 studies

Carbamazepine: A dibenzazepine that acts as a sodium channel blocker. It is used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor or focal SEIZURES. It may also be used in the management of BIPOLAR DISORDER, and has analgesic properties.
carbamazepine : A dibenzoazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine carrying a carbamoyl substituent at the azepine nitrogen, used as an anticonvulsant.

Rett Syndrome: An inherited neurological developmental disorder that is associated with X-LINKED INHERITANCE and may be lethal in utero to hemizygous males. The affected female is normal until the age of 6-25 months when progressive loss of voluntary control of hand movements and communication skills; ATAXIA; SEIZURES; autistic behavior; intermittent HYPERVENTILATION; and HYPERAMMONEMIA appear. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p199)

Research Excerpts

" VPA and CBZ proved to be equally effective in Rett patients who presented seizures within the typical age range (4-5 years), while Lamotrigine (LTG) was effective for patients in whom epilepsy started later."3.81Antiepileptic drugs in Rett Syndrome. ( Baglietto, MG; Calevo, MG; Canevini, M; Giacomini, T; Giordano, L; Hayek, Y; Pintaudi, M; Renieri, A; Russo, S; Traverso, M; Veneselli, E; Vignoli, A, 2015)
" Epilepsy was present in 21 patients, predominantly partial seizures and the drug of choice was carbamazepine (15 patients)."3.71[Rett syndrome: retrospective and prospective study of 28 patients]. ( Antoniuk, SA; Bruck, I; Bruyn, LR; Facchim, D; Halick, SM; Koneski, J; Rodrigues, M; Spessatto, A, 2001)
"Valproic acid (VPA) was the most prescribed single therapy in young patients (<15years), whereas carbamazepine (CBZ) was preferred by clinicians in older patients."1.46Effectiveness and tolerability of antiepileptic drugs in 104 girls with Rett syndrome.
