    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology
    • Neuro-oncology

    Background:

    • Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.
    • Seizures can manifest in various ways, including motor and sensory symptoms.
    • Piloerection, commonly known as gooseflesh, is typically an autonomic response.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old male patient presented with recurrent episodes of piloerection.
    • Clinical examination and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings indicated seizure activity.
    • The seizures were localized to the right temporal lobe.

    Findings:

    • The patient's pilomotor seizures were attributed to a glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor.
    • This case highlights piloerection as an unusual ictal manifestation.

  • Paroxysmal piloerection is a rare but recognized symptom of epilepsy.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of known seizure manifestations in temporal lobe epilepsy.
    • It underscores the importance of considering rare symptoms in epilepsy diagnosis.
    • The findings emphasize the need for thorough investigation, including neuroimaging, in patients with atypical seizure presentations, especially when a glioblastoma is suspected.
