Abstract
Seizure disorders can produce anxiety that is almost indistinguishable from psychiatric disorders. There are few reports of adolescents with seizure disorders that produce fear. The first case of an adolescent female who presented with panic disorder and agoraphobia which was a c onsequence of seizure activity is reported. Careful diagnostic evaluat ion and correlation with Video electroencephalography were important i n distinguishing seizure activity from panic disorder.
