Frontal lobe epilepsy is an unusual form of complex partial seizures associated with behavioral changes including fear, agitation, kicking, and screaming. The seizures are often missed or mistaken for psychiatric problems or sleep disorders. We report 2 unusual patients presenting with psychosis who were found to have frequent frontal lobe seizures. Treatment of the seizures with carbamazepine resulted in complete resolution of their psychiatric symptoms. The relationship between frontal lobe seizures and psychosis is explored.
额叶癫痫是一种特殊类型的复杂部分性发作，与包括恐惧、激动、踢打和尖叫在内的行为改变相关。这些发作常常被漏诊或误诊为精神问题或睡眠障碍。我们报告了2例表现为精神病性症状的特殊患者，经检查发现他们频繁发作额叶癫痫。使用卡马西平治疗癫痫发作后，其精神症状完全缓解。本文探讨了额叶癫痫与精神病之间的关系。
