[A little-known epileptic phenomenon].
The epileptic patients were investigated in different age groups displaying hypersexual paroxysms resulting in masturbation. In adults the EEG monitoring was performed. Both in adults and children, epileptic foci were recorded in the temporal lobes. Apparently similar masturbation attacks had peculiarities typical of children vs. adults. In children, the hypersexuality developed exclusively through the automatisms; in adults the motivated brain operated in the hypersexual paroxysms.
