Perampanel is a novel ASM recently approved as an adjunctive treatment for drug resistant focal seizures. It carries a black-box warning for serious psychiatric and behavioral adverse reactions of aggression, irritability, et cetera. However, psychosis is a seldom reported side effect of perampanel. We herein describe a case of a 15-year-old girl with moderate intellectual disability who presented with refractory seizures managed successfully after using perampanel. Around 2 months later, she developed psychosis and aggression. The patient's history lacked any significant family or personal history of mental illness. Managing psychotic symptoms was difficult in this case; as perampanel was needed for proper seizure control, and both psychosis and seizures were severe and significantly endangering the patient and people around her. Thus, symptoms were addressed by adding a low-dose risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic. This paper highlights the importance of pre-treatment counselling and monitoring for the emergence of psychiatric side effects including the rarely occurring psychosis while using perampanel, particularly in highly sensitive patients, e.g., those with intellectual disability. We also emphasize on the importance of accurate weighing of risks and benefits while managing psychosis as an adverse event to ASMs in the background of drug-resistant epilepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":73741,"journal":{"name":"Journal of epilepsy research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11227927/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560900","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}

Class I evidence firmly establishes the superiority of epilepsy surgery over medical treatments in both seizure control and quality of life for DRE patients. For the effective identification of optimal surgical candidates, it's essential to understand the prognostic factors of epilepsy surgery based on the surgical methods employed. Established positive prognostic indicators for temporal resection include the presence of hippocampal sclerosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), focal lesions on MRI, unilateral temporal spikes, concordant ictal electroencephalography (EEG), and a history of prolonged febrile convulsion. Potential negative predictors encompass preoperative secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, a normal MRI, postoperative EEG spikes, and age at the time of surgery. For neocortical epilepsy, the prognostic factors identified through multivariate analysis were the presence of a discrete lesion, localized hypometabolism on Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and localized ictal EEG. A significant correlation was found between achieving a seizure-free outcome in no visible lesion on MRI (MR-negative) epilepsy patients and having concordance in two or more presurgical evaluations, specifically in interictal EEG, ictal EEG, FDG-PET, and ictal single-photon emission computed tomography. There was a marked improvement in the seizure-free outcome in MR-negative temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) by the application of this strategy. The better surgical candidates for epilepsy surgery are the followings: patients displaying a discrete lesion on MRI with concordant video-EEG monitoring (VEM) results, patients diagnosed with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis who have concordant VEM results, patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis but discordant VEM results, patients with focal cortical dysplasia and concordant VEM results, and patients diagnosed with MR-negative TLE who exhibit two or more consistent results from presurgical evaluations.","PeriodicalId":73741,"journal":{"name":"Journal of epilepsy research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139134531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
