    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Sodium valproate is a widely prescribed antiepileptic medication.
    • Hematologic complications, including thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy, are known adverse effects of valproate therapy.

    Observation:

    • A patient receiving sodium valproate developed bone marrow suppression.
    • The patient also presented with high titers of platelet autoantibodies and a coagulopathy.

    Findings:

    • The observed bone marrow suppression is postulated to be a consequence of sodium valproate treatment.
    • The patient's autoantibodies and coagulopathy are recognized complications of valproate.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of monitoring hematologic parameters in patients treated with sodium valproate.

  • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for severe bone marrow suppression as an adverse effect of valproate.
