Case outline: Patient 24 years old in 2020. In July 2020 had complex partial seizures with an unordinary psychomotoric reactions and verbalization, followed by qualitative conscience change in the form of confusion and amnesia. Therapy with paroxetine showed no result. Neuropsychological evaluation showed no other cognitive deficit than severe visuoconstruction dyspraxia and discrete decrease in complex attention.
