  • Title: Klüver-Bucy syndrome after left anterior temporal resection.
    Author: Ghika-Schmid F, Assal G, De Tribolet N, Regli F.
    Journal: Neuropsychologia; 1995 Jan; 33(1):101-13. PubMed ID: 7731534.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old right-handed woman developed a complete Klüver-Bucy syndrome including psychic blindness, aberrant sexual behavior, hypermetamorphosis, aphasia and visual agnosia following left anterior temporal lobectomy for an anaplasic oligodendroglioma. MRI showed no argument for a contralateral ischemic infarct, tumoral growth or white matter damage. Thus the possibility that a unilateral anterior temporal lesion can cause the whole picture of Klüver-Bucy syndrome must therefore be considered.
