TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Suicide soon after generalized tonic-clonic seizure. A possible peri-ictal phenomenon? JO - ScientificWorldJournal A1 - Pompili, Maurizio A1 - Girardi, Paolo A1 - Lester, David A1 - Tatarelli, Roberto SP - 356 EP - 360 VL - 6 IS - N2 - We report the case of 36-year-old woman who had suffered from focal-unilateral right febrile grand mal since she was 9 months old as a result of neonatal asphyxia. Over the years, a modification of the clinical picture occurred and eventually the patient suffered from paranoid delusions that impaired her ability to work. After many years free from seizures, she experienced one day a generalized tonic-clonic seizure that required hospitalization and, soon thereafter, she committed suicide.
