RESUMEN
El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre el tratamiento con medicamentos antiepilépticos en el niño. Un aspecto importante en el tratamiento de la epilepsia es disminuir o lograr la cesación de las crisis epilépticas para garantizar una calidad de vida adecuada. Existen varios factores que se deben considerar en el momento de seleccionar el primer medicamento antiepiléptico, entre los se encuentran la eficacia relativa, la tolerabilidad, las interacciones medicamentosas y seguridad a largo plazo del fármaco seleccionado, el tipo de crisis epiléptica, el síndrome epiléptico, la edad, el sexo, el peso, las comorbilidades asociadas, entre otros. Si se decide emplear tratamiento adjunto, deben combinarse medicamentos con diferentes mecanismos de acción. Todos los antiepilépticos clásicos o de primera generación son medicamentos eficaces que continúan desempeñando un papel importante en el tratamiento actual de la epilepsia. Estos fármacos en la actualidad se emplean en el tratamiento de primera opción para muchos tipos de crisis epilépticas o síndromes epilépticos. Son pocos los medicamentos antiepilépticos de segunda generación que en la actualidad se consideran de primera elección para el tratamiento de la epilepsia en el niño.
