Extract

The association of obsessive compulsive states with organic disease is well known and a prolific and abundant literature dealing with it has accumulated in the last twenty years. The combination of obsessive compulsive states with epilepsy, however, has received very little attention and in some of the cases in which it has been reported it has been regarded as a coincidence. This may very well be so, but the case here described is of interest in showing the combination very clearly, and it would not perhaps be very odd if there were a small group of epileptics with obsessive compulsive states, in whom both manifestations were ascribable to a common pathology.
