Atypical Intra‐Oral Lesions in a Young Epileptic Patient: A Case Report
This case report describes a 16-year-old boy with a history of generalized idiopathic epilepsy who developed severe intraoral lesions. Initial antiepileptic medications and the dosage adjustments to stabilize the disease triggered a recurrent grade 1 thrombocytopenia accompanied by debilitating oral lesions. Symptomatic treatment was provided to alleviate the patient's symptoms, drug adjustments were made by the neurologists, and a regular hematological monitoring was implemented. This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare adverse effects of anticonvulsant medications on the oral mucosa.
