Brain imaging studies suggest that panic disorder (PD) is mediated by several brain regions, including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In the present report we describe a patient who experienced a panic attack during awake surgery (case 1) and another patient who developed PD after surgery and radiotherapy (case 2). In case 1, the patient experienced repeated panic attacks when the tumor at the upper border of right dorsal ACC was removed during awake surgery. In case 2, the patient developed PD at six months after surgery and Cyberknife radiotherapy. MRI examination revealed that the dorsal ACC size was reduced at six months after surgery and that the dorsal ACC was absent at two years after surgery, possibly due to radiotherapy-induced damage by radiotherapy. Profile of mood states (POMS) testing characterized the presence of tension anxiety as the common abnormal symptom in cases 1 and 2. In conclusion, these results suggest that damage to the right dorsal ACC can induce PD and that this structure likely plays a pathophysiologic role in PD. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
