| Abstract | Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with a host of psychiatric, drug-induced and medical conditions. The article describes a 38 year-old Chinese man who presented with episodic stupor, stereotypic lip smacking and urinary incontinence suggesting temporal lobe seizure. The diagnosis of catatonic schizophrenia was made subsequently with the documentation of first rank symptoms. The stuporous episodes resolved with antipsychotic treatment. The relationship between catatonia syndrome and epilepsy and the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) in the differential diagnosis are discussed. |
