حملات هراس، یک دنباله از لوبکتومی موضعی چپ در بیمار مبتلا به گلیوما کم

Medial temporal lobe and associated limbic areas have vital role in processing of emotions. Amygdala, an important brain structure in processing of fear and anxiety has been implicated in the pathogenesis of panic symptoms. Brain pathology involving medial temporal lobe and amygdala can present with features of panic attacks. We highlight here a case of low-grade glioma, who had panic attacks following temporal lobectomy and improved with antidepressant (escitalopram) treatment.
