RESUMO
A patient with atypical temporal lobe seizures involving violent behavior was found to exhibit the neuropsychological syndrome described by Luria (1966, 1976) as pathognomonic of lesions in the depths of the left temporal lobe. This syndrome, mainly an audioverbal memory defect with relatively intact phonemic hearing, was evident in spite of an intact intellect.
