Abstract

An acute psychosis characterized by auditory hallucinations and paranoid delusions developed in a 19-year-old man with temporal lobe epilepsy after he had a cluster of seizures when antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) had been gradually discontinued. Continuous sterotactic depth and epidural EEG recordings confirmed that this was a postictal rather than an ictal event. Acute postictal psychosis is a self-limited condition phenomenologically distinct from ictal or postictal confusion.
