Sulthiame is effectively used in the treatment of benign and symptomatic focal epilepsy in children. Hyperventilation as a symptom is a well known adverse effect of the drug. Alterations of the acid-base equilibrium have been described for the drug, however, very infrequently only in adults without a detailed evaluation of the disorders status. The case presented here demonstrates a mild compensated metabolic acidosis in a child which, for the first time, is described using the methods of complete blood gas and electrolytes analysis.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
