    1. -- Ethosuximide does not cause idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity and hence is preferred especially in children.

      -- Valproate has been shown to be more effective than ethosuximide for atypical absence seizures. (Ref: Engel J Jr. Seizures and Epilepsy. Philadelphia: F.A. Davis Company)

      -- Atypical Absence Seizures usually :
      1. occur in children.
      2. last > 10 seconds.
      3. gradually start and stop than typical.
      4. not precipitated by hyperventilation.

      -- When absence seizures are ass. with GTCS - Valproate is preferred choice.
