Sari 2 . 1 KTU Medical Faculty, Dept of Child Neurology, Trabzon, Turkey, 2 KTU Medical Faculty, Dept of Radiology, Trabzon, Turkey Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare congenital cuta- neous malformation syndrom characterised by vascular and melanocytic components. According to findings of dermal or systemic, four types have been recognised. Sturge Weber syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterised by port-wine nevus, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, choroidal vascular lesions and neurologic detoriation. In this article, we report a case of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis type IIb associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome from Turkey. Case: A three months old girl was admitted to our clinic with complaints of cyanosis and congenital vascular and pigmentary cutaneous lesions. At one-month-old-age, she was operated for bilaterally glaucoma in another clinic. Cranial tomography of the patient was normal at two months old. At the admission, there were vascular lesions over the face and melanocytic lesions over the trunk and extremities. Cranial tomography showed calcification in the right parietal region, cerebral atrophy. Cranial MRI revealed right serebral atrophy, diffuse pial enhancement in right serebral hemisphere and the left temporo-oksipital region. Conclusion: The association of Phakomatosis pigmentovas- cularis tip IIb with Sturge-Weber syndrome is very rare. Cerebral atrophy may occur very quickly in this case. For that reason, this patients must be frequently evaluated for occurrence of serebral atrophy and leptomeningeal angiomatosis. NOP11 Sturge-Weber syndrome. Study of 55 patients I.

Via ˜ no. 1 University Hospital La Paz, Madrid, Spain, 2 Nuestra Se ˜ nora del Rosario clinic, Madrid, Spain Objective: Epilepsy, hemiparesis, mental retardation and ocular problems are the most frequent and severe features of patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). Follow-up during more than thirty years was able in several of the patients. Methods: Fifty-five patients with SWS, 30 males and 25 females, were studied. Results: The nevus flammeus was unilateral in 35 (63.5%) patients, bilateral in 17 (31%), but with unilateral lep- tomeningeal angioma in 7 (41%), and leptomeningeal angioma without facial nevus flammeus in 3 (5.5%) patients. Seizures in 47 patients (85.5%) Good seizure control was obtained in 20 patients (42.5%), but 2 of these 20 patients were controlled only after lobectomy. All patients with unilateral or bilateral upper eyelid nevus flammeus had unilateral or bilateral choroid-retinal angiomas. Only 36% of patients had normal or borderline mental levels (IQ up of 70). No relationship was observed between the size of the facial nevus flammeus or its unilateral or bilateral location. Conclusions: SWS followed a progressive course during childhood. Early surgical treatment controlled the seizures but the other problems showed a lesser response. None of our patients were married despite some of them having normal mental levels, seizure control, and acceptable aesthetic appearance.

Ketamine is a noncompetitive NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist that can be used in refractory convulsive status epilepticus. In this paper we present two cases with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and refractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus. In both of the patients, nonconvulsive status epilepticus did not respond to the treatments with clonazepam, clobazam, oral steroid, intravenous immunoglobulin, valproate, topiramate, and levetiracetam. Oral ketamine at a dose of 1.5 to 5mg/kg/day (in two divided doses) was administrated to both patients in order to treat nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Oral ketamine treatment was continued at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day for at least 5 days before the completion of treatment. The patients were followed clinically and also with daily electroencephalo- graphic examinations. Oral ketamine treatment did not led to clinical and electroencephalographic improvement in patients with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. In contrast to a previous study, our observation shows that oral ketamine is not effective in the treatment of refractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus in children.

Methods: Serum lipoproteins and hepatic enzymes were measured in 63 children with different types of epilepsy after 3 months of treatment and in 150 healthy children. Children were separated in group 1: 4 received CBZ, 1 PH; group 2: 30 received VPA, 5 TPM, 3 LTG; group 3: 14 received 2 AEDs; group 4: 6 received 3 AEDs. Results: Overage of 63 children with epilepsy was 10.5 yrs (28 girls mean BMI 19.1 and 35 boys mean BMI 19.4) and of 150 controls 10.4 yrs (71 girls mean BMI 18.6 and 79 boys mean BMI 18.6). In all children receiving enzyme inducing AEDs total cholesterol, LDL and hepatic enzymes ware significantly higher than in controls. After replacing these AEDs with non inducing AEDs, values of total cholesterol, LDL and hepatic enzymes become normal. Conclusion: Serum lipoprotein profile should be carefully monitored in children receiving enzyme inducing AEDs (CBZ, PH) in mono or politherapy. Because of a risk of atherosclerotic disorders we suggest the substitution of AED. ETP022 Antiepileptic drugs effect on vitamin D status of epileptic children S. Shiva*, M. Barzegar.

Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare congenital cuta-neous malformation syndrom characterised by vascular andmelanocytic components. According to findings of dermalor systemic, four types have been recognised. Sturge Webersyndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterisedby port-wine nevus, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, choroidalvascular lesions and neurologic detoriation. In this article, wereport a case of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis type IIbassociated with Sturge-Weber syndrome from Turkey.Case: A three months old girl was admitted to our clinicwith complaints of cyanosis and congenital vascular andpigmentary cutaneous lesions.

ETP020 Can oral ketamine administration control pediatricrefractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus?

Pediatric nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a rare disorderthat can be difficult to treat. Response to benzodiazepines,oral steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and GABAergicmedications are variable. Ketamine is a noncompetitiveNMDA glutamate receptor antagonist that can be usedin refractory convulsive status epilepticus. In this paperwe present two cases with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome andrefractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus. In both of thepatients, nonconvulsive status epilepticus did not respondto the treatments with clonazepam, clobazam, oral steroid,intravenous immunoglobulin, valproate, topiramate, andlevetiracetam. Oral ketamine at a dose of 1.5 to 5mg/kg/day(in two divided doses) was administrated to both patients inorder to treat nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Oral ketaminetreatment was continued at a dose of 5mg/kg/day for atleast 5 days before the completion of treatment. The patientswere followed clinically and also with daily electroencephalo-graphic examinations. Oral ketamine treatment did notled to clinical and electroencephalographic improvement inpatients with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. In contrast toa previous study, our observation shows that oral ketamineis not effective in the treatment of refractory nonconvulsivestatus epilepticus in children.
