  • Title: Klüver-Bucy syndrome in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a late complication of radiation brain injury.
    Author: Lam LC, Chiu HF.
    Journal: J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol; 1997 Jul; 10(3):111-3. PubMed ID: 9322133.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with dementia and Klüver-Bucy syndrome who presented 17 years after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Computerized tomography of the brain revealed bilateral temporal lobe atrophy. The possibility of delayed effects of radiation brain injury in causing the human Klüver-Bucy syndrome is discussed.
