Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage due to valproic acid: Case report and review of the literature

Francesco Inzirillo Casimiro Giorgetta Eugenio Ravalli Claudio Della Pona

Abstrak

Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the most frequently used antiepileptic drugs for the treatment of focal and generalized epilepsies, absence seizures, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). VPA has been demonstrated to have a negative effect on both the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation systems and controversy exists about the clinical relevance of such hematological abnormalities. We describe a case of reversible lung hemorrage due to VPA. In English-language literature only two other similar cases (one of which fatal) have been described so far.
