چکیده
Methods Seven patients suffering from epileptic seizures followed by a schizophrenia-like state were examined. They all were men admitted at the ward of the III Psychiatric Clinic, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. Psychiatric diagnoses were determined according to the DSM-IV criteria. Assessment of epilepsy and localization of seizure foci were determined by collaborating neurologists on the basis of routine surface electroencephalograms (EEG), using an 18-channel EEG monitoring device. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed on a 1.5 Tesla Magnetom Siemens Operating Unit.
