TL;DR: The majority of patients with epilepsy maintain seizure control during pregnancy, and the apparently higher risk of seizures among women treated with ox carbazepine and the more frequent increases in drug load in the oxcarbazepines and lamotrigine cohorts prompts further studies on relationships with pharmacokinetic changes.

TL;DR: Age-related secondary bilateral synchrony underlying ESES may be facilitated in multilobar polymicrogyria, and the good seizure outcome contrasts with that usually found in the presence of cortical malformations.

TL;DR: It is concluded that FPP appears to be genetically heterogeneous, however, most of the families probably represent a third previously undescribed X‐linked syndrome of cortical maldevelopment.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the efficacy and good tolerability of vigabatrin therapy in patients with severe complex partial epilepsy and show a significant reduction in seizure frequency during treatment.

TL;DR: The data underline the limitations of relying on a single drug level determination during the monitoring of carbamazepine therapy and emphasize the necessity of carefully adjusting the dosing schedule, to minimize the appearance of intermittent adverse effects.
