Abstract
A fugue is a state of reversible amnesia for personal identity in which case an individual wanders away from home or place of work for periods of hours, days or even weeks. It could be psychogenic (dissociative) or organic. We report a case of epileptic fugue state in a middle-aged woman treated with carbamazepine after several years of misdiagnosis as a psychotic disorder.
