Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has a long track record for the treatment of infantile spasms. However, there is paucity of data on the use of ACTH in the treatment of epilepsy beyond infantile spasms. We report the use of ACTH in two children with refractory generalized epilepsy. Both patients responded well. ACTH may be considered as a useful adjunctive therapy in patients with intractable generalized seizures. Side effects and cost however, remain important concerns.
