Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Associated with Antiepileptic Drugs and Cranial Radiation Therapy by Shereen Elazzazy, Taghrid Abu Hassan, Ashraf El Seid, Cicy Mary Jacob

“…Our case is a 42-year-old male patient, a case of gliosarcoma who developed purpuric dermatitis associated with phenytoin when combined with cranial radiation therapy; although phenytoin was discontinued and switched to levetiracetam, the patient had more severe symptoms of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) on levetiracetam; the patient improved with aggressive symptom management, discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and holding radiotherapy. Although TEN is a rare toxicity, physicians should pay a special attention to the monitoring of brain tumor patients on antiepileptic prophylaxis during cranial irradiation; furthermore, patients should be counselled to notify their physicians if they develop any new or unusual symptoms.…”
