Résumé

In spite of lacking approval intravenous valproic acid (VPA) is used for therapy of status epilepticus (SE) including status epilepticus of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (SEGTCS). Evidence class I and II data from randomised and blinded studies are not available. An expert panel including basic scientists and neuropediatricians as well as neurologists evaluated and summarized the currently available data from the literature and the clinical experience of the participating authors regarding the use of intravenous VPA in SE. In the german speaking countries intravenous VPA is not yet approved for therapy of SE. It is used "off-label" based on evidence from class III and IV data following unsuccessful pretreatment with benzodiazepines, phenytoin, or phenobarbital. Recommendations regarding dosage and monitoring are given. A prospective registre of the use of intravenous VPA in SEGTCS is suggested to get more reliable data.
