title: [Treatment of patients with psychomotor epileptic attacks resistant to conventional anticonvulsant therapy].
abstract: The authors' personal experience and the pertinent publications were reviewed in order to provide grounds for inclusion of L-Dopa into the scheme of treatment of patients with psychomotor epilepsy. A total of 45 patients with psychomotor attacks were treated and followed during 4 to 5 years. The steady therapeutic effect of L-Dopa was documented in its combination with the anticonvulsants as diphenin, finlepsin. L-Dopa proved also efficient with hexamidine and antelepsin in polymorphic seizures. The authors report on the reduction of personality changes in 12% of L-Dopa treated patients. The latter group attained full social rehabilitation. L-Dopo displayed a positive effect in treating the psychomotor attacks, especially those resistant to common anticonvulsant treatment.
