A case of a 'rude' but not to be missed manifestation of epilepsy: ictal swearing. J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2020 03;50(1):46-48 Authors: Khoo CS, Park KM, Lee D, Lee BI, Kim SE Abstract Swearing is described in various neurological conditions such as Tourette syndrome, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and post stroke or encephalitis. However, swearing as an ictal manifestation or automatism has rarely been reported. We herein describe a case with swearing as a predominant manifestation in focal epilepsy.
