| pubmed-article:3709621 | pubmed:abstractText | Contrast examinations of the subarachnoid space are associated with side effects including convulsions. Attention has been given to the prophylactic use of anticonvulsants. We describe a simple oral regimen using the established anticonvulsant phenytoin that can be administered to short-stay patients and that achieves effective serum and CSF concentrations. A preliminary account of this work was presented to the British Pharmacological Society in January 1984 in London. | lld:pubmed |
