RESUMO
The occurrence of de novo psychogenic seizures after epilepsy surgery is rare, and is estimated in 1.8 per cent to 3.6 per cent. Seizures after epilepsy surgery should be carefully evaluated, and de novo psychogenic seizures should be considered especially when there is a change in the ictal semiology. We report a patient with de novo psychogenic seizures after anterior temporal lobe removal for refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Once psychogenic seizures were diagnosed and psychiatric treatment was started, seizures stopped.
