Original Source: Phenytoin, Levetiracetam, and Pregabalin in the Acute Management of Refractory Status Epilepticus in Patients with Brain Tumors.
BACKGROUND: There were nearly 700,000 patients in the United States in 2010 living with brain tumor diagnoses. The incidence of seizures in this population is as high as 70% and is historically difficult to control. Approximately 30-40% of brain tumors patients who present with status epilepticus (SE) will not respond to typical therapy consisting of benzodiazepines and phenytoin (PHT), resulting in patients with refractory status epilepticus (RSE). RSE is usually treated with anesthetic doses of propofol o...
