Mesial temporal sclerosis and psychiatric symptoms: a case report.
We present the history of a woman with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) who was diagnosed with a psychotic depression before the correct diagnosis was made. The atypical course and some specific features raised doubt on the initial diagnosis. This case demonstrates the difficulty making a diagnosis of MTS.
