Abstract

This is a case report of a 38-year-old woman with temporal lobe epilepsy and epileptic psychoses. The psychoses consisted of three rare symptoms that were "a distortion in the sense of time," "what should be there disappears," and "the next scene is supposed to be in a particular way." There have been few reports that included these symptoms; therefore, we report the course of this patient in detail.
