The present study compares the efficacy of carbamazepine (20 mg/kg/day) and vigabatrin (250 mg/kg/day) in preventing hippocampal and amygdaloid damage in the perforant pathway stimulation model of status epilepticus in the rat. One group of rats received a combination of the drugs. Drug treatments were started one week before the stimulation and continued for two weeks thereafter. Gallyas silver impregnation and somatostatin immunohistochemistry were used to detect neuronal damage. All drug treatments were equally effective in decreasing the number and severity of seizures during electrical stimulation. In the vigabatrin group, the damage to the hilar somatostatin-immunoreactive (SOM-ir) neurons and hippocampal CA3c pyramidal cells was less severe than in the vehicle (SOM-ir, P
