A unique case of musicogenic epilepsy

Author(s): Saunders, M.

Journal/Book: Arch Neurol. 1980; 37: 244-5.

Abstract: Musicogenic epilepsy associated with spastic paraparesis, the latter probably secondary to multiple sclerosis, occurred in a patient. Detailed analysis of a variety of musical stimuli demonstrated consistent susceptibility to a particular popular tune. It is postulated that temporal lobe demyelination may be the etiological factor in this patient.
