In June 2020, an online forum of experts on the use of perampanel in adolescents with epilepsy in everyday clinical practice was held. The main goal was to discuss the features of juvenile epilepsy, its diagnosis, the possibilities of using perampanel in this category of patients, and the effectiveness of using the drug in everyday clinical practice. The forum was attended by leading experts in neurology and epileptology. Current data on the epidemiology of epilepsy in the child and juvenile population were presented; the issues of difficulties and diagnostic errors were considered, as well as features of managing adolescents with epilepsy, adverse events of antiepileptic therapy, results of studies on the effectiveness of perampanel, and many social aspects of the life of patients in this category.
