Abstract:
The unusual case of newly-emerged bilateral myoclonus in a 39-year-old man following anterior temporal lobectomy, which cured his temporal lobe epilepsy, is reported. The possible causes and differential diagnosis between epileptic and non-epileptic myoclonus following epilepsy surgery are presented and a brief review of the available literature on the subject is reported.
