title: [Changes in the cerebrospinal fluid levels of adenosine cyclic- 3',5'-monophosphate (c-AMP) in patients with generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures].
abstract: Authors evaluated the activity of c-AMP in the CSF as the biochemical marker for evaluation of epileptic seizure activity in patients with epilepsy. The impact of monitored phenytoin treatment on c-AMP activity in CSF was investigated. It was shown that the general tonic-clonic seizures cause a significant concentration increase of c-AMP in CSF. Monitored phenytoin treatment had a stabilizing effect on c-AMP activity in CSF.
