Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2007
Abstract
Studies reported in the literature indicate a wide range of movement disorders associated with anti-epileptic treatment (Easterford et al., 2004). Valproic acid is a well-known cause of reversible neurotoxicity characterized by symptoms resembling idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and cognitive impairment (Armon et al., 1996; Onofrj et al., 1998).
