By: R. Kamalraj, D. Sirisena and S. C. Amarasinghe
Abstract
A 16-year-old girl with a long-standing history of epilepsy and mild learning disability, presented to the neurology unit of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka with a history of abrupt onset of behavioral changes after the initiation of levetiracetam therapy. She did not have any psychiatric illness or behavioural changes prior to this episode, and her symptoms were not related to any seizure episodes. Her symptoms gradually declined within a week of the cessation of levetiracetam.
