Felbamate‐associated fatal acute hepatic necrosis

Abstract
Thirty-six cases of hepatic toxicity associated with felbamate therapy have been collected by the Food and Drug Administration. Five patients died. We describe a case of massive acute hepatic necrosis and death within 40 days of initiation of felbamate therapy for a generalized tonic-clonic seizure disorder. We describe the clinical and histopathologic features.
