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.
我们报告了一例 55 岁患者，其多次出现意识改变。他经常被诊断为癫痫发作后状态，但实际上他患有丙戊酸钠诱导的高氨血症性脑病。丙戊酸钠可经常升高血氨水平，并在某些患者中导致高氨血症性脑病。
