Long-term and high dose VPA therapy may cause osteopenia, primarily in younger epileptic children. These patients should be followed closely by BMD measurements.

This is the first study concerning the frequency and type of CHD observed in Turkish children with DS. The high frequency of AVSD in Turkish children with DS implied that early screening for CHDs by echocardiography is crucial. The correction of AVSDs in paediatric patients with DS should be performed in the first 6 months of life to avoid irreversible haemodynamic consequences of the defect.
