摘要
Treatment of west syndrome in patients with tuberous sclerosis, the relevant effective period and doses of vigabatrin (VGB) to avoid serious side effects still needs further investigation. We report on a Japanese girl who showed good results with a very low dose of VGB. Tonic spasms appeared at 5 mo of age. Adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy resulted in incomplete seizure control. VGB at the lowest practical dose (30 mg/kg/d) showed complete control after 3 d. With reduction of the dose to 10 mg/kg/d, side effects such as hyperactivity, irritability, and sleep disturbances improved. She was seizure- free for the next 6 mo with an improved developmental quotient. Ophthalmological evaluation revealed no abnormality. The present case illustrates that low- dose VGB therapy (10 mg/kg/d) has fewer side effects and may bring prompt seizure control in west syndrome with tuberous sclerosis.
