title: Post-traumatic epilepsy with isolated memory flashbacks.
abstract: Some traumatic events can cause both post-traumatic stress disorder and epileptic seizures. We report the case of a woman who experienced a severe head injury which subsequently led to the development of paroxysmal episodes of isolated memory flashbacks related to the injury. Detailed analysis of her symptoms along with video-EEG telemetry recordings was helpful to distinguish between these two conditions. [Published with video sequences].
