Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Hyperammonemia is one of the rare nevertheless serious side effects associated with valproic acid treatment. Two cases of valproic acid induced hyperammonemia are detailed in this article.
CASES: Case one describes an adult male who developed hyperammonemia after acute exposure to valproic acid as a treatment for his bipolar disorder-manic episode. Case two developed a similar pattern of toxicity but after chronic exposure to valproic acid. Both patients were receiving a combination of valproic acid and quetiapine.
DISCUSSION: Measurement of the ammonium level should be considered where there is a decreased level of consciousness in patients receiving valproic acid irrespective of the diagnosis and even after a long term exposure. A possible risk of hyperammonemia can result from a combination of valproic acid and quetiapine, however further studies are yet needed to confirm this hypothesis.
