title: [Tuberous sclerosis and organic bipolar disorder in a 15-year-old adolescent].
abstract: We present the case of a 15-year-old girl with tuberous sclerosis who developed rapid cycling bipolar disorder under treatment with the anticonsulvant oxcarbazepine. Because of first occurrence of grand mal-seizures combined treatment with Valproate became necessary, but failed to prevent relapses of bipolar disorder. Mood stabilization was noticed under additional treatment with lithium, which was complicated by an increase of serum potassium.
