Intoxication with sodium valproate. A case report.
Sodium valproate is a relatively new compound in the treatment of epilepsy. A female patient was admitted to the hospital after voluntary intake of 30 g sodium valproate. Her serum concentration was 4925 mumol/l, but the course of the intoxication was mild and the patient was soporous for only 12 hours after intake of the compound. Biochemical data may suggest a slight transitory liver affection.
