Abstract:
A case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome following treatment with sodium valproate is
presented here. A 20-year-old male was put on sodium valproate monotherapy for the
migraine, with generalized epilepsy. He developed vesicles and bullae in the oral and
nasal mucosa with conjunctivitis, after 10 days of treatment. The lesions resolved after
treating with systemic steroids. This case has been presented because Stevens-Johnson
syndrome with sodium valproate monotherapy has been very rarely reported.
