Abstract

Postictal psychosis (PIP) is a type of peri-ictal psychosis. PIP was defined as a psychotic episode that begins less than one week after the epileptic seizure, especially the focal seizure group with disturbance of consciousness with or without evolution to generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTC). In patients with epilepsy, complex factors play a role in the neuropsychiatric effects of epilepsy. The concept of epileptic psychosis implies that epilepsy presupposes a specific psychotic disorder, which would not exist in the absence of epilepsy. This case report describes the clinical features of PIP, characterized by persecutory delusions, visual and auditory hallucinations, and sleep disturbances in a male patient with uncontrolled long-standing epilepsy with a history of non-adherence to antiepileptic medication. The patient was then treated with risperidone 0.5 mg twice a day and lorazepam 1 mg once a day at night. The patient is also educated to take his antiepileptic drugs regularly.
