Abstract
A 20 year old woman with complex partial seizures from childhood developed a stuporous state when her anticonvulsant therapy was substituted by VPA. She recovered when treated orally with clonazepam. This case was compared with others in the literature for which the origin of the stuporous state have been hypothesized.
