title: [Computerized stabilometry in the monitoring of antiepileptic therapy in children].
abstract: Computerized stabilometry is an useful test to monitor postural effects of anticonvulsant therapy in adults. Our study was carried out on 65 epileptic children: 51 were treated with CBZ or PHT or VPA or PB in monotherapy, and 14 were not on therapy, in the aim to observe abnormalities of postural control in pediatric population. Computerized stabilometry has to be considered auxiliary monitoring to evaluate toxic effect of anticonvulsant therapy in children.
