High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been clearly reported to be effective in the treatment of depression. We report a patient with treatment-resistant depression, without any known risk factors, who developed seizure during the fourth rTMS session. After written informed consent, he received further rTMS sessions under cover of antiepileptic drug valproate and improved without recurrence of seizure.
高频重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)作用于左背外侧前额叶皮层已被明确报道对治疗抑郁症有效。我们报告了一例无已知危险因素的难治性抑郁症患者,在第四次 rTMS 治疗过程中出现癫痫发作。在获得书面知情同意后,他在抗癫痫药物丙戊酸钠的掩盖下接受了进一步的 rTMS 治疗,且未再出现癫痫发作,病情得到改善。
