Minocycline as potent anticonvulsant in a patient with astrocytoma and drug resistant epilepsy.

Seizure, 2012, Volume: 21, Issue:3

Minocycline, a tetracycline family antibiotic, is known to inhibit microglial activation and proinflammatory cytokine release in animal models. Experimental data show that these immune processes may play a role in epilepto- and ictogenesis. We present the case of a patient with marked reduction in seizure frequency during minocycline therapy with severe symptomatic epilepsy due to an astrocytoma.
