摘要
Status epilepticus in patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) are difficult to treat. In this report the author describes a patient with AIP and status epilepticus who was successfully treated with a combination of intravenous magnesium and levetiracetam. This case and the limited experience reported in the literature show that it is probably safe to administer levetiracetam in patients with AIP; however, its role in the treatment of status epilepticus deserves further evaluation.
