following the introduction of vigabatrin. She stopped her anticonvulsant medication as a consequence of her persecutory delusions. She subsequently suffered
status epilepticus
with severe brain damage. It is essential to outline a management plan for patients to detect and treat vigabatrin-induced psychosis.

MB suffered an episode of
status epilepticus
of febrile origin at the age of 20 months. This was followed at two years by complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin and at eight years he had learning difficulties arising from the dominant hemisphere. Subsequent symptoms included auditory, visual and olfactory hallucinations which were not controlled by antipsychotics or antiepileptics. EEG and MRI were unhelpful and alternating diagnoses of schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy were made. Now aged 17 years, he has a diagnosis of
schizophreniform psychosis
with temporal lobe abnormality from
status epilepticus
in childhood, and is managed by an adult psychiatrist. His symptoms persist.
