“…There are several reports of catatonia in the presence of temporal lobe lesions. The reported lesions include a temporal lobe infarct,30 focal temporal encephalomalacia,31 temporal lobe resection32 33 and an inexplicable lesion in the temporal lobe 34. It remains unclear how temporal lesions can cause a catatonic state, although it is possible that the presence of the tumour may have contributed to the dysfunction of the motor system.…”

The objective of this article is to describe the possible association of catatonia and temporal brain lesions. This is a case presentation of a 57-year-old man presenting with depression, with catatonia secondary to a temporal glioblastoma. He was referred to hospital because for a sudden deterioration in depressed state. He was diagnosed with catatonia and treated successfully with lorazepam. During his admission, he became increasingly disinhibited, and an MRI scan revealed an intracranial mass in the right temporal lobe, with uncal herniation and a mass effect. Surgical resection of the entire tumour was successful. Histological examination revealed a glioblastoma multiforme requiring additional chemoradiotherapy. Postoperatively, catatonic signs and symptoms were not detectable. A postsurgical frontal syndrome with disinhibition and logorrhoea was present and gradually normalised over the course of several weeks. Catatonia can be the presenting symptom of a temporal brain tumour, and should therefore prompt the physician to a thorough medical investigation.

“…It is possible that the emergence of catatonia following ECT is mediated through the effects of ECT on temporal lobes. Thus, delivering less electrical energy in the brain and temporal lobes, in particular, can diminish the risk of catatonia emergence during ECT (14).…”

Objective: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a major treatment of catatonia; and catatonia development during electroconvulsive therapy is a highly surprising phenomenon. We present a patient with bipolar disorder who developed catatonia during ECT. Case Reports: A 21-year-old woman, with a known case of bipolar disorder in manic phase without psychotic feature, history of long acting antipsychotic use, and severe B12 deficiency, was treated with ECT. Full catatonia syndrome developed after the fifth session of ECT. Conclusion: In rare cases, catatonia can develop during ECT course in the presence of some precipitating factors. Thus, these precipitating factors should be eliminated as much as possible before the start of ECT course to prevent catatonia development.
