TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - [Haemodialysis, L-carnitine therapy and valproic acid overdose] JO - Annales Francaises d'Anesthesie et de Reanimation A1 - Minville, V. A1 - Roche Tissot, C. A1 - Samii, K. SP - 357 EP - 360 VL - 23 IS - 4 N2 - We report the case of a severe valproic acid poisoning in a 36-year-old man. In front of a high serum concentration of valproic acid at the admission, haemodialysis was initiated to decrease serum valproic acid concentration. A L-carnitine therapy (50 mg/kg per day) was also started. A cerebral oedema appeared at the third day, but the patient recovered without any sequela.
