Abstract EN
Valproate is a medication used in the treatment of seizures, bipolar disorder, migraines, and behavioral problems.
Here we present a case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with hypertensive urgency after initiation of valproate.
Primary treatment of his hypertension was ineffective.
Blood pressure stabilization was achieved following discontinuation of valproate.
Clinicians should be aware of the risk of developing hypertensive urgency with administration of valproate.
