Vivid recollection of a particular past memory is a rare ictal phenomenon in temporal lobe epilepsy. When the memory is traumatic, the presentation may mimic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We report a woman with temporal lobe epilepsy who was misdiagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder for two years before she had a suspected generalised seizure; video-EEG monitoring confirmed that her episodes were epileptic. Adequate treatment with an antiepileptic medication resulted in total resolution of the episodes.
对特定过去记忆的生动回忆是颞叶癫痫中一种罕见的发作现象。当记忆是创伤性的时，表现可能类似于创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。我们报告了一位颞叶癫痫患者，她在疑似全身性发作前被误诊为创伤后应激障碍长达两年；视频-脑电图监测证实她的发作是癫痫性的。用抗癫痫药物进行充分治疗后，发作完全缓解。
