[Psychotic disturbance and epilepsy as principal signs of arteriovenous angioma of the brain--described on case history basis (author's transl)].
The article describes the case of a 36-year old female patient with left temporal arteriovenous angioma suffering from psychomotoric epilepsy followed five years later by a symptomatic psychosis (paraphrenia). Basing on the case history of this patient, the phenomenological, neurophysiologico-biochemical and cerebrolocalisatory common features of psychotic disturbance and psychomotoric epilepsy are discussed; the etiologically underlying lesion of the limbic system is described. As far as clinical practice is concerned, the author raises the demand that, to say the least, orientating neurological diagnosis should be included at any early stage into differential diagnostic considerations.
