Summary

Sexual dysfunction is a frequent and overlooked problem in patients with epilepsy. Despite the importance o f this pathology, there are still only a few scientific reports regarding this issue. This is particularly significant in the event of sexual dysfunction following the implementation of anti-epileptic pharmacotherapy. In this paper, the case of a patient with this type of disorder during antiepileptic levetiracetam monotherapy is presented.
