Well-recognised side effects include weight gain, tremor, dizziness, and unsteadiness. Non-hyperammonaemic parkinsonism, with or without cognitive impairment, is a rare adverse effect of sodium valproate. We present the case of a sixty year-old lady with a generalized seizure disorder, treated with phenytoin, valproate, lamotrigine and clonazepam. Following withdrawal of phenytoin she developed an akinetic-rigid syndrome, with ataxia and marked cognitive impairment. Extensive investigation failed to identify a cause. Serum ammonia and valproate levels were normal. Hypothesizing this might be valproate encephalopathy, valproate was rapidly substituted with levetiracetam. Her severe motor symptoms resolved within two weeks and cognitive impairment markedly improved. Valproate-induced encephalopathy, with or without hyperammonaemia and liver toxicity are typically recognizable for their temporal relation between the start of therapy with valproate and emergence of the clinical syndrome. Reversible disorders of motor function and cognition attributable to valproate are well described, but few cases have been reported presenting years after starting treatment. Given the insidious progression, delayed onset, lack of association with drug levels or presence of hyperammonaemia, a high index of suspicion is needed to make the diagnosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56365,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 9-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ebcr.2017.04.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35118568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
