Özet:

Epileptic seizures of parietal lobe origin are heterogeneous and mainly characterized by the presenting auras. We present the case of 14 years old girl had a history of severe head trauma 10 years ago. She had suffered from almost daily migraine-like headache for 4 years and suffered from complex partial seizures six times with intense fear and complex visual hallucinations for 3 months. She visited a local hospital for her symptoms 2 month ago. Her seizures were considered such as panic disorder or anxiety disorder but could not be definitely established or excluded. She had no neurological deficits. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right parietal dural arteriovenous malformation (DAVM). Routine electroencephalography showed paroxysmal spike waves in the central parietal regions. This is a case report in which a previous head trauma is strongly believed to be the cause of a DAVM with daily migraine-like headache and parietal lobe epilepsy.
