Hormonal consequences of epilepsy

Adenike Opaleke et al. Semin Pediatr Neurol. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

Epilepsy is a common disorder in childhood. The effects of recurrent seizures and the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) during childhood and adolescence on reproductive endocrine health are poorly defined. We review effects of hormones on epilepsy and vice versa along with the effects of treatment (AEDs) on hormones in children.
