Sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity in long-term diphenylhydantoin therapy

Velocidade de condução sensitiva e motora no tratamento prolongado com a difenilidantoina

Eleven epileptic patients under long-term DPH therapeutical doses were studied and the obtained results allow us to postulate that DPH, when is administrated for long periods, can produce damage of the peripheral nerve by involvement of the sensory and motor fibres in a similar degree.
