Abstract
A case report was presented of a 62 yr-old female admitted to a general hospital with a provisional diagnosis of mania and organic brain syndrome, whose unusual behavior and history prompted evaluation using computed tomography [CT] of her brain. Bilateral frontal lobe cystic lesions were discovered as a result of a bilateral transorbital leukotomy performed 21 yr earlier. CT scan was presented, demonstrating the extent of these lesions.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
