Valproate-Associated Hyperammonaemic Encephalopathy.

We present the case of a 55 year old who presented multiple times with altered conscious levels. He was often treated as being post-ictal, when in fact, he had Sodium Valproate induced hyperammonaemic encephalopathy. Sodium Valproate can frequently increase ammonia levels, and in some patient lead to hyperammonaemic encephalopathy.
