Abstract

A 33-year-old woman developed temporal lobe seizures and was found to have a right frontotemporal arteriovenous malformation. She subsequently developed panic attacks that could be induced by lactate infusion and were successfully treated with imipramine. The possibility that the panic attacks were caused by a structural lesion of the right temporal lobe is discussed.
