Cerebellar atrophy was found that a patient was taking oral phenytoin for 3 years. 53 years old female patient with General tonic clonic(GTC) type seizure was prescribed phenytoin. In the process, she developed ataxic gate, dysarthria. Brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) finding was revealed differential diagnosis cerebellar atrophy. She was prescribed epileptol instead of phenytoin. But leukopenia, thrombocytopenia occurred. As a result, phenytoin restarted. Development of medical state decreased abuse of anticonvulsants. Considering various convulsive disorders, we must give attention to using anticonvulsants.

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare syndrome that involves episodic bursts of pain in the sensory distributuion of the ninth cranial nerve. The nature of the pain is characterized by excruciating shock-like pain in the region of the tonsillar fossa or pharynx and can radiate to the ear or the angle of the jaw. Like trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia typically responds to anticonvulsant agents such as carbamazepine. However, dose of carbamazepine needs to be increased gradually to avoid side effects. If the patient can not tolerate until effective carbamazepine level is reached, phenytoin can be administered intravenously at the same time that oral carbamazepine therapy is begun. We present fifty-three year old female patient suffering from glossopharyngeal neuralgia who did not respond to initial carbamazepine therapy, but responded to concomitant intravenous infusion of phenytoin.

Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome includes fever, skin eruptions, lymphadenopathy, hematologic abnormality and hepatitis, but its mechanism remains unknown. Anticonvulsants including phenytoin, carbamazepine can cause hypersensitivity reaction. We treated a patient who had severe itching sensation and insomnia: he had undergone an operation for cerebral hemorrhage and was administered anti-convulsant agents to prevent convulsions. We administered the anti-convulsant, Dangkwieumja(Dangguiyinzi). After the treatment, clinical symptoms caused by hypersensitivity were improved.

간질이나 신경성 통증 등으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 phenytoin, carbamazepine, 그리고 phenobarbital등의 항경련제는 피부, 임파절, 간 그리고 폐 등을 포함하는 전신적인 반응을 동반하는 anticonvulsant hyper-sensitivity syndrome을 유발할 수 있다. 그 임상양상은 환자에 따라 매우 다양하며 드물게 치명적인 경과를 가질 수 있어 의심되는 경우에는 약제의 사용중단이 가장 중요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 carbamazepine을 투여 후 피부병변, 고열, 호산구증다증, 임파절종대와 호산구성폐렴을 보였던 환자를 anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndorme으로 진단하고 원인약제 투여중단 후, 증상, 혈액학적 이상소견 그리고 방사선학적 이상소견의 호전이 관찰되었던 1예을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

A series of 8-alkoxy-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazole[4,3-a]quinoline-1-one derivatives were synthesized using 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolone as the starting material. Their anticonvulsant activities were evaluated by the maximal electroshock test (MES) and the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole test (sc-PTZ), and their neurotoxicities were measured by the rotarod neurotoxicity test (Tox). The tests demonstrated that 8-hexyloxy-4,5-dihydro-[1.2.4]triazole[4.3-a]quinoline-1-one (4e) and 8-heptyloxy-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazole[4, 3-a]quinoline-1-one (4f) were the most potent anticonvulsants, with 4e having $ED_{50}$ values of 17.17 mg/kg and 24.55 mg/kg and protective index ($PI=TD_{50}/ED_{50}$) values of 41.9 and 29.3 in the MES and sc-PTZ tests, respectively, and 4f having $ED_{50}$ values of 19.7 mg/kg and 21.2 mg/kg and PI values of 36.5 and 33.9 in the MES and sc-PTZ tests, respectively. The PI values of 4e and 4f were many fold better than that of the marketed drugs phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital and valproate, which have PI values in the range of 1.6-8.1 in the MES test and <0.22-5.2 in the sc-PTZ test. Structure-activity relationships were also discussed.
