Resumo
Both epilepsy and dementia are common after the age of 65. Epilepsy, originating in the temporal lobes, can present clinically in a variety of ways and can be difficult to diagnose. Loss of consciousness may not be evident. Reported here is a unique case of a 65 year old man who presented with clinical features of frontotemporal dementia but was subsequently diagnosed as suffering from complex partial seizures. He made a full recovery with antiepileptic treatment.
