Öz

Temporal lob epilepsisi birçok psikiyatrik belirtinin ortaya çıktığı nöropsikiyatrik bir durumdur. Hastalarda, nöbetler arası dönemde de birçok bilişsel, duygusal ve davranışsal sorunla karşılaşılabilmekte, kimi olgular için sağaltım gereği doğmaktadır. Psikiyatrik belirtiler, temporal lob kaynaklı epileptik nöbetlerde, diğer nöbet türlerine oranla daha fazla görülmektedir. Ancak temporal lob epilepsili hastalarda görülen manik dönem belirtileri ile ilgili bilgiler kısıtlıdır. Bu yazıda 35 yıldır temporal lob epilepsisi nedeni ile tedavi gören ve son 10 yıldır epileptik nöbetler sonrasında ortaya çıkan manik dönem belirtileri ile hastanemiz psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran bir olgu literatür eşliğinde sunulacaktır.
