Intractable epilepsy was successfully controlled using perampanel, an α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazole propionic acid‐type glutamate receptor antagonist, in a 27‐year‐old woman who presented with a Rett syndrome‐like phenotype and novel 960‐kb deletion involving syntaxin‐binding protein 1 on chromosome 9q34.11. Perampanel may be an effective antiepileptic drug for intractable epilepsy associated with STXBP1 mutations.
