Abstract
-
A new atypical antipsychotics, risperidone has been shown to be an effective drug in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. We present a case report of successful treatment in a psychotic patient with complex partial seizure. A case history, of 26-year-old women in whom psychotic symptoms due to temporal lobe epilepsy was successfully treated with risperidone and anticonvulsants, is presented. A prospective clinical trial of risperidone with a randomized controlled design in patients with epileptic psychosis is warranted.
