His state was otherwise normal, as were routine electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations in the past. Several differential diagnoses such as panic disorder, pavor nocturnus, and nightmares were considered but could not be definitely established or excluded. Since the attacks appeared after the divorce of his parents, an adjustment disorder was suspected, and the patient received psychotherapy for more than 2 years without an effect on the attacks. Only when long-term video-EEG recorded two typical attacks with left temporal ictal seizure patterns was focal epilepsy diagnosed and successfully treated with antiepileptic medication. A suspected origin of seizures in the amygdala was supported by a high-resolution MRI showing a cortical dysplasia extending from the left anteromedial temporal lobe to the amygdala. The case exemplifies difficulties in the differential diagnosis of panic-like attacks and underlines the value of long-term video-EEG, which may be necessary to establish the correct diagnosis and to prevent ineffective therapeutical approaches.
