Abstract

In severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SME), multiple drug-resistant focal and generalized seizure types occur. Lamotrigine (LTG), found effective in many generalized and partial seizures, has been little used in severe childhood epilepsy syndromes with multiple seizure types. We studied the effects of LTG in SME.
