AbstractOne hundred and thirty-eight patients (76 women and 62 men, aged from 16 to 65 years) with symptomatic partial epilepsy (n=128) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (n=10) have been studied. All patients received keppra on regiments of monotherapy (n=30) and polytherapy (n=108). The study included evaluation of anamnesis, clinical and neurophysiological examination, routine EEG and/or video-EEG-monitoring, MRI of the brain, assessment of effectiveness, tolerability and quality of life (QUALIE-31, version 1). The period of observation was 1-4 years (on average 2,5 years). The high effectiveness and tolerability, good characteristics of therapy duration, the early appearance of clinical effect after the therapy has been started and positive cognitive effect are noted. The effectiveness, tolerance and clinical features of keppra treatment in different epileptic syndromes are analyzed.
