Abstract
A case is presented of a thirty-one year old man with temporal lobe epilepsy with probably, multiple foci of origin on the right side. His attacks included an ‘orgasmic like’ sensation which spread across his face from right to left and was followed by muscle twitching which extended into the left neck and arm. The sensations were unpleasant because of their location. Various features of temporal lobe dysfunction are discussed as well as the clinical aspects of the case.Keywords
