Abstract
Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing and is a symptom associated with many organic and psychiatric conditions, affecting both food intake and thus both growth and development. Incidence of pyschiatric disorders increase in patients with epilepsy, and some patients are brought to medical attention with psychiatric disorders even before they are diagnosed with epilepsy. Dysphagia is the one of the most important symptoms in these neuropsychiatric disorders and may be the first sign of the disease especially in patients with frontal lobe epilepsy. Here we present an 11-year-old male patient admitted with dysphagia and weight loss, and eventually diagnosed with epilepsy during follow-up.
