Levetiracetam may induce serious behavioral disturbances, especially after surgical resection of frontal lobe low-grade glioma. Two patients, treated with levetiracetam, developed serious psychiatric complications postoperatively which completely resolved after switching to valproate. We aim to create awareness for this serious but reversible adverse effect of levetiracetam in this specific patient category.
