Abstract:
Secondary mania associated with focal brain lesion has only rarely been reported. The authors report a case of secondary mania artier postoperative radiation therapy for primary brain tumor. Localized necrotic lesion was found in the right basotemporal lobe involving hippocampus, which might be the result of late delayed damage of the postoperative radiation therapy. This case suggests that secondary mania is closely related to focal, right basotemporal lesions. Knowing the relationship between the location of brain lesions and manic syndrome may be helpful to us In understanding the neuroanatomical and neurobiological mechanism of primary.
