ABSTRACT
Psychotic manifestations are a classic feature of non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) of temporal origin. For several decades now, the various psychiatric manifestations of NCSE have been described, and in particular, the diagnostic challenges they pose. However, studies using stereotactic-EEG (SEEG) recordings are very rare. Only a few cases have been reported, but they demonstrated the anatomical substrate of certain manifestations, including hallucinations, delusions, and emotional changes. The post-ictal origin of some of the manifestations should be emphasized. More generally, SEEG has shown that seizures affecting the temporal and frontal limbic systems can lead to intense emotional experiences and behavioural disturbances.
