Abstract:
A case of epileptic laughter associated with deep right temporal epidermoid cyst is reported. Interictal EEG with subdural grid electrodes demonstrated multifocal spike discharges in the right temporal lobe. Ictal EEG localized the epileptogenic foci at the base of the anterior medial temporal lobe. After standard temporal lobectomy, the tumor was completely removed. The patient is free from seizures postoperatively.
