title: [When a seizure occurs...].
abstract: With an apparently first epileptic seizure in a young female patient, we propose a diagnostic and therapeutic discussion on a common clinical problem. Due to the large number of available antiepileptic drugs, choosing the best treatment is not an easy task. One must take into consideration the type of epilepsy, the pharmacological properties of the antiepileptic drug, and the clinical profile of the patient. Besides drug prescription, specific recommendations must also be made.
