“…The etiology and pathology of POE have yet to be established but associations with localization-related epilepsy, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy, have been found [3]. PIP progression to IIP has also been observed, with a transition period between months to years [4-5], although they still represent distinct clinical entities with potentially different neurobiological backgrounds [3]. IIP, unlike PIP, is a psychosis not temporally related to a seizure in a patient with previously diagnosed epilepsy [5].…”

Postictal psychosis is a rare but potentially serious complication in patients with seizure disorders. There is no consensus on best practices in managing and treating postictal psychosis as well as other psychoses of epilepsy, but current research is investigating topics such as adherence to seizure medications and antipsychotic administration during or before psychosis and addressing psychosocial stressors as potential components of effective treatment. We present a case report detailing a patient's lengthy history of postictal psychosis due to her underlying temporal lobe epilepsy; her disease course as correlated by a diagnostic electroencephalogram (EEG), her history of medication nonadherence, and the treatment of postictal psychosis are also discussed.
