Psychosis following temporal lobe surgery: a report of six cases

C J Mace et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

Six consecutive patients who had had temporal lobe surgery for epilepsy, and been referred for psychiatric assessment of psychotic symptoms, are reported. Their symptoms (a delusional depression, four schizophrenia-like illnesses, and a case of Capgras' syndrome) are discussed in relation to the possible role of their operations, all of which were on the right hemisphere.
