    Author: Onuma T.
    Journal: Folia Psychiatr Neurol Jpn; 1983; 37(3):253-7. PubMed ID: 6676132.
    Abstract:
    Ten cases of limbic epilepsy with paranoid symptoms were compared with 10 cases of limbic epilepsy without paranoid symptoms and 10 cases of primary generalized epilepsy ( GTC ). The clinical features (onset of seizures, their duration, combination with GTC , seizure control, social adaptability and laterality of foci) and psychological tests (WAIS, Bender-Gestalt, MPI, Y-G, Rorschach) were analyzed. Paranoid epileptics showed poor social adaptation in spite of the seizures being better controlled. They had a low performance IQ, a low object assembly test and a low picture completion test in WAIS. They were less extroversive in MPI, less aggressive and more introversive in the Yatabe -Gilford test. In the Rorschach test, they had a high color response and a form response but the form level was low.
