In recent years, there has been growing interest in the influences of food-drug interactions on the metabolism of antiseizure medications (ASM) and the management of epilepsy. Studies have proven the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet (KD) in controlling refractory epilepsy. However, dietary interventions such as the KD or its variants may induce significant changes in serum drug concentrations which counteracts the anticonvulsive effects of ASMs, leading to an increased risk of developing seizures. Interactions with enzymes within the cytochrome P450 system may also explain the dietary influences on serum concentrations of antiseizure drugs. The bioavailability of ASMs is also affected by several foods and nutritional supplements. Nevertheless, more studies are warranted to explore the mechanisms underlying food-drug interactions and the risks and benefits of combined drug-diet therapy.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a debilitating disorder that can lead to life-long disability, with a high incidence in Saudi Arabia. Secondary epilepsy and cardiac complications are common in CP patients. We present a rare case of a 17-year-old female with CP, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), secondary epilepsy, and a history of post-cardiac arrest, with home medications carbamazepine, risperidone, and sodium valproate.

Background: Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) poses a significant challenge despite advances in stroke treatment. This study compares the efficacy of the novel anti-seizure medication (ASM) Perampanel with the classical ASM Oxcarbazepine in treating PSE.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited PSE patients from September 2022 to January 2024 across multiple hospitals.

Although the association between dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is well established, there are significant knowledge gaps with respect to the perspective of dementia and epilepsy without TBI. We aimed to investigate the relationship between dementia and epilepsy in a population-based study of patients without history of TBI. This study included a random sample of 30,715 patients with no history of TBI, including 6143 with epilepsy as the study cohort and 24,572 without epilepsy as the comparison cohort.
