Abstract

Background: Many drugs have been successfully used for the treatment of epilepsy. However, medications related complications are usually inevitable. The aim of the work was to report the limited rare cutaneous manifestations associated with Levetiracetam (LEV); a commonly used anti-epileptic drug (AED). Two cases were reported with literature review. Method: This is a retrospective case report enrolling two patients with primary generalized epilepsy who developed different cutaneous manifestations that were previously reported in the literature on minimal occasions. Conclusion: LEV is not known to induce cutaneous manifestations, and if occurred, it would be dose- related. Therefore, utmost care should be taken when prescribing LEV dosage to avoid such complication.
