Anxiety as the only manifestation of focal non-convulsive status epilepticus: case report and review of the literature.

Abstract:

:Psychiatric disorders represent common comorbidities in epileptic patients. Sometimes anxiety is part of the ictal semiology, especially during seizures arising from/involving frontal or temporal lobes. We describe a patient with focal epilepsy and recurrent hyperkinetic seizures who also presented prolonged episodes characterized by massive anxiety, alarm and fear. A Video-Electroencephalographic monitoring performed during one of these attacks revealed a continuous epileptiform activity over the right frontal regions, consistent with a focal non-convulsive status epilepticus accounting for the patient's psychiatric symptoms. Our case confirms the complex relationship between epilepsy and anxiety. A review of the literature is also included.

  • Verbal emotional memory in a case with left amygdala damage.
