Cognitive impairment in new cases of epilepsy randomly assigned to carbamazepine, phenytoin and sodium valproate

Abstract
Sixty-four new cases of childhood epilepsy were randomly assigned to either carbamazepine, phenytoin or sodium valproate, and were assessed with cognitive tests before medication and three subsequent times over a year. Carbamazepine in moderate dosage adversely affected memory, but sodium valproate and phenytoin did not.
