ethosuximide and Epilepsies, Partial

ethosuximide has been researched along with Epilepsies, Partial in 21 studies

Ethosuximide: An anticonvulsant especially useful in the treatment of absence seizures unaccompanied by other types of seizures.
ethosuximide : A dicarboximide that is pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in which the hydrogens at position 3 are substituted by one methyl and one ethyl group. An antiepileptic, it is used in the treatment of absence seizures and may be used for myoclonic seizures, but is ineffective against tonic-clonic seizures.

Epilepsies, Partial: Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp317)

"Atypical benign partial epilepsy (ABPE) is characterized by centro-temporal electroencephalography (EEG) spikes, continuous spike and waves during sleep (CSWS), and multiple seizure types including epileptic negative myoclonus (ENM), but not tonic seizures."1.40Magnetoencephalography localizing spike sources of atypical benign partial epilepsy. ( Chan, D; Haginoya, K; Kaneko, Y; Nakagawa, E; Nakasato, N; Otsubo, H; Saitoh, S; Shiraishi, H, 2014)
"Epileptic negative myoclonus disappeared in all patients 15 to 30 days after ethosuximide was started."1.30Ethosuximide is effective in the treatment of epileptic negative myoclonus in childhood partial epilepsy. ( Beccaria, F; Capovilla, G; Meletti, S; Rubboli, G; Tassinari, CA; Veggiotti, P, 1999)
"Only when the epilepsy is uncontrolled despite high plasma concentrations which cannot be raised because of side effects, a second drug should be given."1.27[Pharmacotherapy of epilepsy--current problems and controversies]. ( Schmidt, D, 1983)
