Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, or a group of chronic disorders, in which the indispensable feature is recurrence of seizures that are typically unprovoked and usually unpredictable.
Epilepsy usually manifests during childhood and is typically treated using various medications for years or even life long. Many of these drugs have dangerous side effects.
AEDs could lead to several degrees of impairment in thyroid hormone homeostasis by changing its biosynthesis, secretion transport, metabolism, and excretion (Benedetti et al.,2005).
The aim of the present work is to assess the effect of antiepileptic drugs on thyroid hormones in epileptic children in Zagazig university.
