Abstract
The authors report the case of an individual who developed compulsive polydipsia following resection of a left sphenoidal ridge meningioma. The episodic, stereotyped nature of his symptoms, response to treatment, and electroencephalographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings are all highly consistent with temporal lobe-onset epilepsy. The pathophysiology of this underrecognized phenomenon is discussed.
