Abstract
We report a 65-year-old man who was diagnosed with focal status epilepticus generating a dreamy state, delusions with anxiety, complex audiovisual hallucinations, elementary auditory hallucinations, and metamorphopsia with a growing large lateral temporal lobe lesion. After administrating anti-seizure drugs, all the symptoms disappeared, and brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed ipsilateral hippocampal sclerosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to present all the symptoms in one epilepsy case. On the basis of semiology, electroencephalography, and brain magnetic resonance imaging, we speculated that epileptic activities that have originated from the lateral lesion might have propagated to the ipsilateral mesial temporal lobe, causing hippocampal sclerosis.
