Abstract
Serial changes of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) i n two epileptic psychotics are reported. One patient had a decreased b lood flow of the left temporal lobe with schizophrenia-like symptoms, and the other patient had a decreased blood flow of the right temporal lobe with depressive symptoms. In each case, these abnormal findings disappeared following recovery from a psychotic state. It might be sug gested that the psychotic state of an epileptic patient influences the SPECT findings.
