trimethadione and Epilepsy, Absence

trimethadione has been researched along with Epilepsy, Absence in 53 studies

Trimethadione: An anticonvulsant effective in absence seizures, but generally reserved for refractory cases because of its toxicity. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p378)
trimethadione : An oxazolidinone that is 1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 5 and 5. It is an antiepileptic agent.

Epilepsy, Absence: A seizure disorder usually occurring in childhood characterized by rhythmic electrical brain discharges of generalized onset. Clinical features include a sudden cessation of ongoing activity usually without loss of postural tone. Rhythmic blinking of the eyelids or lip smacking frequently accompanies the SEIZURES. The usual duration is 5-10 seconds, and multiple episodes may occur daily. Juvenile absence epilepsy is characterized by the juvenile onset of absence seizures and an increased incidence of myoclonus and tonic-clonic seizures. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p736)

"Three families are described in which each of the mothers took trimethadione during pregnancy."7.65The fetal trimethadione syndrome. ( Hanson, JW; Mellman, WJ; Neiderer, B; Zackai, EH, 1975)
"Three families are described in which each of the mothers took trimethadione during pregnancy."3.65The fetal trimethadione syndrome. ( Hanson, JW; Mellman, WJ; Neiderer, B; Zackai, EH, 1975)
"The effects of AEDS on seizures of the tremor rat showed profiles similar to those observed in human absence seizures and also in absence-like seizures of SER."1.29Effect of antiepileptic drugs on absence-like seizures in the tremor rat. ( Amano, T; Fujita, Y; Hanaya, R; Matsubayashi, H; Sasa, M; Serikawa, T; Ujihara, H; Uozumi, T, 1995)
"Carbamazepine and phenytoin were ineffective or aggravated the seizures."1.27Antiepileptic drug evaluation in a new animal model: spontaneous petit mal epilepsy in the rat. ( Depaulis, A; Marescaux, C; Micheletti, G; Reis, J; Rumbach, L; Vergnes, M; Warter, JM, 1985)
" The dose-response curve for naloxone against seizure activity induced by leucine enkephalin was the same as that in gamma-hydroxybutyrate-induced petit mal."1.26Anticonvulsants specific for petit mal antagonize epileptogenic effect of leucine enkephalin. ( Bearden, LJ; Snead, OC, 1980)
" The interaction of optimal doses of succilep with the cliniel characteristics is less expressed than for Trimetin and on a significant level is detected only for two of them: a larger dosage in longer duration of the disease and in the existence of prenatal noxious factors in the past history."1.26[Quantitative analysis of conditional-optimal doses of succilep and trimetin in the treatment of children and adolescents with minor forms of epilepsy].
