  • Title: Post-electroconvulsive therapy status epilepticus and tardive seizure in a patient with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, epilepsy, and intellectual disability.
    Author: Chathanchirayil SJ, Bhat R.
    Journal: J ECT; 2012 Sep; 28(3):183-4. PubMed ID: 22868490.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of status epilepticus and tardive seizure after electroconvulsive therapy in a patient with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, epilepsy, and intellectual disability. This case study illustrates the need of careful inquiry of history of seizure while planning electroconvulsive therapy and the concomitant use of antiepileptic drugs if warranted especially in vulnerable population such as patients with intellectual disability.
