When seizures speak: A case of epilepsy presenting with complex multimodal hallucinations
Abstract
Epilepsy is known to induce psychiatric manifestations like mood disturbances, anxiety, and psychosis. Seizures originating in specific brain areas, particularly the temporal lobes, can lead to psychiatric symptoms without associated motor activity characteristic of epilepsy. We report a patient with intractable epilepsy presenting with complex auditory, visual, and olfactory hallucinations.
