Abstract:
A case of Kloos syndrome is presented, a rare psychopathological manifestation in psychiatry characterized by the experience of "time paralysis" related to an epileptic focus in the left temporoparietal areas. This syndrome was identified through a detailed psychopathological analysis and detected by an electroencephalographic record. The patient's symptoms disappeared after receiving antiepileptic treatment with Carbamazepine. In this case report we highlight the detailed phenomenological and clinical analysis, as well as the importance of carrying out complementary tests when we are faced with unusual or sudden-onset symptoms without any trigger, as took place in the case exposed.
