DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.09.027
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Sodium valproate (VPA) is a commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug (AED) in daily neurosurgical practice. However, the incidence of VPA-associated hyperammonemia (VAH) and its life-threatening consequence, VPA-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy (VHE), in neurosurgical patients is unknown.… read more here.
