Presurgical Use of Cenobamate for Adult and Pediatric Patients Referred for Epilepsy Surgery: Expert Panel Recommendations.

ABSTRACT: Cenobamate has demonstrated efficacy in patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy, including patients who continued to have seizures after epilepsy surgery. This article provides recommendations for cenobamate use in patients referred for epilepsy surgery evaluation. A panel of six senior epileptologists from the United States and Europe with experience in presurgical evaluation of patients with epilepsy and in the use of antiseizure medications (ASMs) was convened to provide consensus recommendations for the use of cenobamate in patients referred for epilepsy surgery evaluation. Many patients referred for surgical evaluation may benefit from ASM optimization; both ASM and surgical treatment should be individualized. Based on previous clinical studies and the authors' clinical experience
