title: [Change of bone tissue in patients with epilepsy].
abstract: By rezultats study found the difference in bone density in patients with epilepsy that a long-term (over 3 years) took anticonvulsants and healthy persons of similar age and sex (P < 0.01). Less than 50% of patients with epilepsy had normal bone density, in 41.2% patients revealed osteopenia, and in 10.1%--had pronounced osteoporosis. Understanding and timely diagnosis of metabolic disorders associated with the AEP technique allows neurologists to conduct timely prevention of osteoporosis in this group of patients, waiting for clinical manifestations of violations of bone density.
