New paper out in BMJ Case Reports.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work and collaborate with brilliants trainees like @thejacklam & Jeremy Moreau, and neurosurgeon extraordinaire Prof Roy W Dudley (@HopitalChildren, @McGillMed, @mcgillu).

The study is the first description of seizures manifesting as prosopagnosia (face blindness) in a 10-year-old child.

From the paper: “We illustrate a case of post-traumatic recurrent transient prosopagnosia in a paediatric patient with a right posterior inferior temporal gyrus haemorrhage seen on imaging and interictal electroencephalogram abnormalities in the right posterior quadrant. Face recognition area mapping with magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional MRI (fMRI) was performed to clarify the relationship between the lesion and his prosopagnosia, which showed activation of the right fusiform gyrus that colocalised with the lesion. Lesions adjacent to the right fusiform gyrus can result in seizures presenting as transient prosopagnosia. MEG and fMRI can help to attribute this unique semiology to the lesion.”
