title: [Temporal-lobe epilepsy with psychosensory and gustatory attacks].
abstract: A variety of temporal epilepsy that manifested by paroxysms in the form of psychosensory and gustatory ones is described. A 20-year-old man was placed under observation. Since 14 years of age he demonstrated attack-like conditions with a sensation of the pushing apart and swelling in the head, of an increase of the head size, and unpleasant sickly sweet taste in the mouth. The attacks were accompanied by anxiety and general weakness. Neurological examination revealed left-handed hemisymptomatology, EEG demonstrated activity prevailing in the occipitotemporal leads on the right. The neuropsychological findings attested to the impairment of the structures of the right temporal lobe. Analysis of the clinical manifestations of epilepsy, of the neurological findings, and the neuropsychologist's conclusion made it possible to suggest the site of the epileptic focus in the field of the hippocamp on the right.
