Case Reports
Successful management of intractable epilepsy with lidocaine tapes and continuous subcutaneous lidocaine infusion.
We report the successful management of a 10-year-old girl with intractable frontal lobe epilepsy by using lidocaine tapes and continuous subcutaneous lidocaine infusion. ⋯ Lidocaine tape therapy and continuous subcutaneous lidocaine infusion therapy were considered to be useful for controlling this patient's seizures. This is the first report to describe the efficacy of continuous subcutaneous lidocaine infusion therapy for epilepsy.
