[Systematized temporal delusion and hearing disorders of cortical origin].
We report a case of delusion characterized by a time disorientation with a constant three days advance. Five years previously, the patient had suffered a left hemisphere stroke with aphasia. The delusional belief appeared at the same time as a cortical deafness following a second right hemisphere infarction. There was severe behaviour disturbances which lasted seven months, then cleared without any other change in the clinical picture. The lesions involved the left parietal lobe as well as the temporal and insular regions of both hemispheres.
