Abstract:
Kluver-Bucy syndrome is defined as a rare neurobehavioral disorder with hyperphagia, hyperorality, hypersexuality, and visual agnosia. This syndrome is usually resulting from bilateral lesions of the anterior temporal lobe including amygdala. Although it could occur after various diseases, stroke is uncommon etiology. We report a patient with Kluver-Bucy syndrome due to bilateral posterior cerebral artery territory infarction.
