What is known and objective: Valproate sodium is an effective antiepileptic drug (AED). Serious adverse effects of valproate sodium are uncommon. This case report illustrates the existence of non‐hyperammonaemia valproate‐induced encephalopathy. Case description: A 47‐year‐old woman with epilepsy who developed valproate‐induced encephalopathy without hyperammonaemia after valproate sodium treatment, and the symptoms completely subsided after withdrawal of valproate sodium. What is new and conclusion: Early diagnosis and identification of the mechanisms of non‐hyperammonaemia valproate‐induced encephalopathy are important. Immediate discontinuation of valproate sodium results in rapid resolution of symptoms in these patients.
