“…Up to now, a total of 52 patients experiencing ecstatic auras have been described in the literature (Alajouanine, 1951 ; Penfield and Kristiansen, 1951 ; Mulder and Daly, 1952 ; Subirana and Oller-Daurella, 1953 ; Feindel and Penfield, 1954 ; Williams, 1956 ; Mullan and Penfield, 1959 ; Boudouresques et al, 1972 ; Cirignotta et al, 1980 ; Naito and Matsui, 1988 ; Morgan, 1990 ; Cabrera-Valdivia et al, 1996 ; Vuilleumier et al, 1997 ; Vera et al, 2000 ; Asheim Hansen and Brodtkorb, 2003 ; Isnard et al, 2004 ; Stefan et al, 2004 ; Landtblom, 2006 ; Picard and Craig, 2009 ; Landtblom et al, 2011 ; Picard, 2013 ; Picard et al, 2013b ; Surbeck et al, 2013 ; Ronchi et al, 2015 ). Table 1 summarizes each of these patients together with the essential ecstatic semiology, associated symptoms, results from brain imaging and electroencephalogram (EEG) recording and, when known, the etiology.…”

“…Also, the Geschwind syndrome (Waxman and Geschwind, 1975 ), consisting of the association of hyperreligiosity, hypergraphia and hyposexuality, occurring as an interictal syndrome in some patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, could have some overlapping features with ecstatic auras (Naito and Matsui, 1988 ); this was hypothesized as the condition of Dostoevsky (Baumann et al, 2005 ). Many cases of ecstatic seizures displayed paraclinical findings suggestive of anterior temporal lobe involvement, e.g., left anterior temporal interictal discharges in the EEG (Mulder and Daly, 1952 ; Asheim Hansen and Brodtkorb, 2003 ), or an anterior temporal tumor in several cases (Mulder and Daly, 1952 ; Morgan, 1990 ; Stefan et al, 2004 ). Several cases had normal brain imaging; however, this information is of limited value, as the sensitivity of MRI for lesion detection has much improved in very recent years, and in the studies before the early 1990s, MRI was not available at all.…”

“…Diversas investigaciones sugieren que la experiencia de la espiritualidad ictal, al igual que otros síntomas asociados a este período epiléptico, son más habituales en ataques focalizados en el hemisferio derecho [34][35][36]55]. Por su parte, la vivencia espiritual postictal, como sucede con los delirios y psicosis postictales, está asociada a disfunción o localización temporal bilateral [52,56].…”

“…Diversos casos de epilepsia com aura de prazer são relatados na literatura 16,[20][21][22][23] , dentre os quais se destaca o relatado por Cirignotta et al 20 , o primeiro a registrar por eletroencefalografia a descarga epiléptica no lobo temporal.…”

“…Morgan 16 define a aura de êxtase como infreqüentes fenômenos da epilepsia do lobo temporal, caracterizados por intensa sensação de prazer, alegria e contentamento, sendo observados em duas formas. A primeira ocorre em pacientes que têm um súbito lapso da consciência, com sentimento de prazer inexplicável que não é seguido de nenhuma outra forma de manifestação epiléptica.A segunda forma ocorre antes do episódio epiléptico generalizado.…”
