    Author: Joshi CN, Booth FA, Sigurdson ES, Bolton JM, Shah NS.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2006 May; 34(5):388-91. PubMed ID: 16648000.
    Abstract:
    Postictal psychosis is a state of psychosis following repeated or prolonged complex partial seizures with or without secondary generalization and is well described in adult epilepsy literature. It is sparsely reported in the pediatric literature. This report describes a 12-year-old male presenting with status epilepticus who developed psychotic symptoms. Diagnosis of postictal psychosis was made after correlating clinical symptoms with video-electroencephalographic monitoring. The clinical course of this illness is profiled, and the literature reviewed.
