Abstract
Clinico-anotomical report on a case of encephalitis, possibly e. lethargica. Clinically the predominant features were a periodic release of aggressive and hypersexual behaviour. The anatomical examination revealed lesions in basal ganglia and limbic midline structures. The findings are discussed in the light of earlier clinical observations and the results of more recent animal experiments.Keywords
