Cystic lesions after transorbital leukotomy.
A case report is presented of a 62-year-old female admitted to a general hospital with a provisional diagnosis of mania and organic brain syndrome, whose unusual behavior and history prompted evaluation using computed tomography of her brain. Bilateral frontal lobe cystic lesions were discovered as a result of a bilateral transorbital leukotomy performed 21 years earlier. CT scan is presented, demonstrating the extent of these lesions.
