Klüver-Bucy syndrome as a result of minor head trauma

South Med J. 2002 Aug;95(8):929-31.

Abstract

Klüver-Bucy syndrome (KBS) has been described as a disconnection of the temporal lobes from the remainder of the brain. Its presence in minor head trauma has not been previously reported. We therefore report what we believe to be the first case of KBS due to mild head trauma and unilateral injury to a temporal lobe.
