Although observed rarely, enzalutamide-induced epileptic seizure is a known side effect. However, a review of literature did not reveal any report on patients for whom enzalutamide and antiepileptic treatment were initiated and followed up simultaneously after seizures. This case report will contribute to the literature for patients whose treatment options have been exhausted and who may benefit significantly from continued use of enzalutamide despite having a seizure.
