The authors reviewed 58 patients with EEG-confirmed idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). When initially seen, 17 (29%) were on broad-spectrum (adequate) antiepileptic drugs (AED) only, 28 (48%) on ill-advised AED only, and 13 (22%) on a combination of both. Thus, a majority of patients with IGE initially receive ill-advised AED, which cause IGE to appear intractable. |
