Abstract
Psychic and psychotic symptoms can be part of seizure-related symptoms, especially within the postictal phase in partial epilepsies. Among the classic examples are dysmnestic phenomena, visual and acoustic hallucinations, and more rarely delusional syndromes. Here we report about the unique seizure symptom of transformation towards the opposite gender in a patient with a right amygdalar tumor, which we classify as ictal delusional misidentification syndrome.
