title: [Dupuytren's and Ledderhose's diseases associated with chronic use of anticonvulsants. Case report].
abstract: We present the case of a patient that after chronic use of anticonvulsant drugs without proven epilepsy, developed Dupuytren's and Ledderhose's diseases. We discuss the most frequent predisposing factors, and their relationship with chronic use of anticonvulsants, particularly phenobarbitone.
