Abstract

TORRES Z, Martin; PEREA C, Esther V; CARO C, Irma  and  POLO V, Luis. Panic attack a diagnostic challeng. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.1, pp.55-62. ISSN 0120-8748.

We report the case of a patient with panic attacks difficult to control, which were considered in the differential diagnosis of these entities. We describe specific clinical features that allow diagnosis approach.

Keywords : Panic; Temporal lobe epilepsy; Limbic system; Hallucinations.
